I am a compassionate psychiatric provider that is dedicated to my practice. I started my psychiatric career as a technician in forensic psychiatry. I worked with individuals who had comitted crimes and were either attempting to determine competency, or were found not guilty by reason of insanity. As my education blossomed, I began working as a nurse on a child and adolescent crisis stabilization unit. I found a massive love for child and adolescent psychiatry and spent most of my career working crisis stabilization and residential psychiatric care for children and adolescents. This gave me significant experience working with many different cultures. After I graduated with my doctorate, I began working psychiatric outpatient. I now see patients of all ages (children 4+, adolescents, adults and geriatric). I thrive on a strong therapeutic relationship and making sure my patients feel heard. I am open minded and non-bias. You are safe with me.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, while also providing practical tools that clients can apply in their daily lives. I strive to create a space where individuals feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions, relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, stress, and personal growth at their own pace.

Coming from a military family—and serving as a trauma-focused clinician—I understand the unique challenges this community face. I specialize in EMDR and use parts work, mindfulness, and attachment theory to help clients process difficult experiences and reconnect with their strengths. I work best with helpers—military spouses, veterans, service members, law enforcement, healthcare workers, and those navigating complex family-of-origin dynamics. My clients often say I “get it,” speak their language (yes, even grunt-style), and show up as a real person.

I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

My style is warm, validating, and compassionate, while also being honest and intentional. I believe therapy should feel supportive but also purposeful. As our therapeutic relationship grows, I offer direct feedback and thoughtful challenges to help you move out of patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and a stronger sense of control over your life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and I am trained in EMDR. An evidence-based approach that helps clients process trauma and distressing experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

Hello and welcome! I am a doctorally prepared clinical therapist who has 25+ years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and older adults. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing, empowering individuals to effectively manage mood, cognition, and behaviors that affect activities of daily living.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re dealing with trauma, substance use, anger, or depression. Many of the people I work with come in feeling unsure or even fearful of the process, often because of past experiences or the stigma around mental health. You don’t have to go through that alone. My goal is to provide a space where you can begin to feel safe, understood, and supported from the very beginning.

I work closely with individuals rebuilding their lives, including those impacted by domestic violence, helping them focus on the present and move forward with greater clarity and stability. I’m known for my ability to build strong rapport and truly listen, taking time to understand your story before jumping into solutions. Clients should expect to feel heard and supported throughout our time together. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, and I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives.

Outside of my work, I enjoy quilting for stress relief, cooking and sharing cultural traditions with my granddaughter, and reading a wide range of books, which helps me stay grounded and connected to what brings meaning and balance in life.
