About Winter and Waves

Winter and Waves Wellness was inspired by my husky, Atom, and his love for both the cold and snow of winter, and the water and waves of the beach. Throughout his life, Atom offered unwavering support and taught endless life lessons to both myself and others. He was a volunteer in nursing homes, hospice, diagnostic centers and youth group homes, college campuses, and 911 police and fire department dispatch centers. He also served as a volunteer canine blood donor for nine years. 

Atom was my most loyal companion as I transitioned through college, graduate school, numerous life transitions, and some very difficult experiences – all of which contributed to making me the therapist I am today. Through my practice, I hope to provide help and guidance for others the same way that he provided unconditional support for me.

My Approach

I practice a mix of insight-oriented, person-centered, and skills-based therapies to help clients gain knowledge about themselves and prevent ongoing repetition of maladaptive patterns of thoughts and behaviors, while also obtaining skills in the short-term.

I assist children, adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with a variety of mental health concerns. My goal is to support clients in achieving their personal best in mental well-being.

My Specialties and Focus

My expertise spans various presenting concerns including anxiety and depression, life transitions, athlete mental health, disordered eating, body image concerns, ADHD, substance use, grief and loss, trauma, and veterinary social work (compassion fatigue, burnout, grief, vicarious trauma).
