Thanks for reading this. I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with clients ages 6 to 86 struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse and other issues. For some clients, I provide both therapy and medication management; for other clients, I work closely with their therapists to optimize their medication experience. I help clients to find stability and reduce suffering. LGBTQ-allied, polyamory-informed. All lifestyles welcome.

Depression and anxiety can be logical responses to difficult life events. Many adults who experienced losses and traumas in childhood have never processed these events and continue to suffer their impacts.

Therapy should help you identify the ways you hold yourself back from greater peace and success. We all pick up dysfunctional patterns along the way and need help to identify and change them. I would like to help you in this process.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

Hello,

I'm so glad that you are looking to take care of yourself and your needs. I have a master's in professional counseling and years of clinical training in trauma, EMDR, and various other topics. I love to help individuals, families, and groups. I help people manage and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and low self-esteem. I look forward to working with you.

Hello! Thank you for your interest in exploring improving your quality of life! A little bit about myself, I have been a practicing clinician for over 9 years, now. I have a great deal of experience and enjoy helping individuals face their addictions and other co-occurring issues. While I have many years of experience in working with addiction and mental health, I have personal experience as well. So, I am definitely able to empathize with many struggles, accross the board. I am also not fully, but intermediately bilingual. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you! If my bookings are full, please send me a private message, I may still have openings.

My approach to therapy is shaped by a rich blend of professional training and lived experience. Over the past 10 years, I’ve supported clients while also integrating insights from my previous career and life journey, allowing me to meet people with empathy, understanding, and authenticity.

I believe healing is possible—even when you've been struggling for years. My approach is grounded in the understanding that symptoms such as addiction, anxiety, trauma responses, or emotional overwhelm are not signs that something is wrong with you; they are adaptations that once helped you survive.

As a Licensed Independent Addictions Counselor & psychotherapist, EMDR Certified therapist, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner with a background in yoga and mindfulness, I help clients heal not only through insight, but by working with the nervous system, the body, and the deeper patterns/memories/beliefs that keep them feeling stuck. My goal is to help you move beyond surviving so you can reconnect with your authentic self and create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with your values.
