“I strongly believe that although difficulties in life may exist; people are not broken. It is my privilege to work alongside our clients in discovering and learning to use unknown strengths and resources which lead to significant brain changes ultimately supporting definitive improvements in life, sport, and overall well-being. I curiously search for the root function and key to solution for even the unhealthiest of behaviors in a warm, engaging and confidential therapeutic relationship which becomes the foundation for lasting change. Although I am rigorously committed to my work at Bridges Counseling, I am eternally devoted to my husband, two daughters, Codie, Sage (our pets) yoga, and writing my first book.”
