Great to meet you!

Healing isn't linear and I understand that deeply, both professionally and personally. As a dual -certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and an attorney, I bring a unique, comprehensive perspective to care. But more than titles, I bring lived experience.

I know grief intimately. The pain I carried afterwards was unexplainable. It didn't fit into a neat diagnosis or timeline. That experience shaped not only how I show up for others but why I do my work.

Whether you are navigating the aftermath of a death, a medical diagnosis, a relationship rupture, or job loss, I offer a safe, grounded and trauma focused space. I help clients process complex emotions, rebuild self-trust, and gently move toward healing, at your own pace.

If you're carrying something heavy, you don't have to carry it alone. I'd be honored to walk with you.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply human. I meet clients where they are, whether they feel stuck in grief, overwhelmed by trauma or navagating life transitions that feel too heavy to carry alone.

I draw from both evidence based neuroscience and real-life insight. I believe healing does not follow a script and I honor each person's unique pace and story. I dont rush the process, I hold space for it.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to feel seen, heard and supported without judgement or pressure to "get over it."Our space is a place to unpack pain, process complex emotions and begin to make sense of what's happened with compassion and clarity.

You'll leave with practical tools to manage anxiety, grief, or trauma but more importantly you'll begin to reconnect with your own inner resilience. My goals are not just symptom relief, it's transformation.
