Philosophy of Care

Sometimes life gets overwhelming, especially when you are about to bring a new baby home. I see patient's in clinic to address a variety of life circumstances that may be affecting a families ability to get the best out of their life. My goal is to empower you with the education, tools, and resources to have your needs met as a mother, a partner and a woman. I will partner with you to uncover your strengths, resiliency, and problem-solving abilities.

In my spare time I enjoy playing with my daughter and having date nights with my husband. As a family we love to go camping and enjoy popcorn and movie nights. On my own I enjoy yoga, crafting, and going to comedy shows with friends.
