Bio

How I Work with Staff and Faculty

My main focus and dedication is to assist employees in navigating life's challenges through empathy with solution-focused and actionable support. I provide a confidential safe space to address work issues, stress management, burnout, relationship issues, and work-life integration by helping you to feel heard, grounded, supported, and connected with resources. Short-term counseling and a blend of evidence-based approaches are being used during our work together including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindful Self-Compassion. I truly enjoy connecting and working with individuals, couples, and groups by promoting well-being. Reaching out is the first step. I look forward to supporting you in recognizing your own strengths, connecting you with resources, and reaching your goals. 

Personal Interests

My worklife balance includes being with family, traveling, movies, Reiki, and Greek dancing.
