Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in anxiety, substance use and addiction, postpartum and maternal mental health, chronic pain, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience treating depression, work stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, trauma, dual diagnosis, and emotional overwhelm. I hold two master’s degrees: one in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and another in Behavioral Science & Investigative Forensics: which provide me with a unique perspective when understanding complex emotional and behavioral patterns. Outside of therapy, I’m a mom to energetic boy/girl toddler twins and enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, traveling, reading, and making memories with my family.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely comfortable being yourself, without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, postpartum challenges, relationship stress, burnout, addiction recovery, chronic pain, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. My approach is warm, honest, collaborative, and down-to-earth, with a little humor when it feels appropriate. Together, we'll identify patterns that are keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels manageable for you.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but your first session is simply a conversation. There's no "right" way to show up, and you don't have to have everything organized before we begin. We'll talk about what's been weighing on you, the challenges you're currently facing, and what you hope will be different in your life. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences while creating a supportive, relaxed environment where you can speak openly. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer understanding of your goals, a plan for moving forward, and hopefully the relief that comes from finally feeling understood.
