What is your favorite color?
My favorite color is yellow!
Do you have any pets?

What do you love about being a therapist?
I love getting to know so many wonderful people. I love the "light bulb moments" when my clients have realizations that help them understand themselves or their world. I love seeing people live lives they never thought they could.
What is one of your go-to mindfulness practices?
A nature walk when the weather cooperates; I love being outside.
What is one of your hobbies or interests?
I love reading!! I think it's actually part of why I became a therapist, because I have always loved entering other people's worlds. I usually read about a book per week and am a huge audiobook fan. I love recommending books to others based on their likes and interests, and discussing books with my friends and family. My favorite genres are mystery, romance, fantasy, and general fiction.
Why do you choose to work at LakeWest DBT Center?
LakeWest is a organization that shares my values, including providing quality, evidence based therapy, maintaining work-life balance, being a part of a supportive community, promoting social justice, and cultivating joy. I feel so valued here as a person and a therapist!
Anything else you'd like to share? Fun facts?
I am originally from upstate New York. I have a huge sweet tooth, am not a morning person, love pasta, am definitely a bit of a nerd, and love the beach.
