THE LIFE I BRING TO THE WORK

Curious about people.
Always have been.

I grew up in the Midwest, with childhood visits to Turkey opening a window into different cultures and ways of living.

That curiosity led me to study anthropology. Learning about human development, culture, and change taught me to look beneath the surface—a perspective I still bring to therapy.

As a parent of two children, I know that family life asks us to keep learning. There isn’t a handbook for every conversation or transition. I bring that humanity into the room alongside my professional training.

Outside the practice, life includes playing tag with my kids, time with friends, and fostering kittens.
