I'm a mother of two boys, one in high school and one in college, so I have a deep respect for anyone balancing family, work, and their own mental health. I understand how easy it can be to put yourself last while trying to keep everything else together.

When I'm not working, you'll probably find me playing tennis, line dancing, or checking out something happening around town. I enjoy being involved, staying active, and connecting with people.

That same warmth and authenticity comes through in how I work with clients. I'm friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to, but I'll also be honest and straightforward when you need it. My primary areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, and family concerns. I also work with clients navigating trauma, grief, panic, OCD, anger, sleep difficulties, eating concerns, and other life challenges.

My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself while also helping you gain the insight, tools, and confidence to move forward.

I meet you where you are. If you need tools to quiet anxious thoughts, manage a low mood, or feel more in control, we'll use approaches like CBT, behavioral therapy, and ACT to build those skills together. If what you're struggling with is rooted in family patterns or relationship dynamics, we'll explore those patterns through a family systems lens.

I also incorporate solution-focused and narrative approaches because I've found that people often have more strength, insight, and clarity than they realize. You know your life better than I do. I'm here to help you make sense of your experiences, recognize what's already working, and make meaningful changes where things aren't.

Mostly conversation. I'll ask what brought you here, what's been weighing on you, and what you'd like to be different. You don't have to come in knowing exactly what to say or having the right words to explain how you're feeling. We'll figure it out together.

I'll also gather some background about you, your family, and your overall health and well-being. You’re always welcome to let me know if something feels too personal or if you're not ready to talk about it yet. There’s no pressure to share everything at once.

We'll wrap up by talking about what our work together could look like and where you'd like to begin. My hope is that you leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and maybe even a little more hopeful than when you walked in.
