I approach this with empathetic listening and a fresh perspective, offering guidance and support through the toughest of times. Life challenges us with moments of stress, anxiety, depression, loss, and fear. During these times, it can feel like we're struggling to hold everything together.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Resiliency Coach with over 19 years of experience helping clients navigate trauma, stress, and life transitions with clarity and confidence.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master’s degree in Psychology and Counseling, my approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a holistic understanding of mental wellness. I believe that mental health care is most effective when it is personalized and tailored to each individual’s unique experiences, challenges, and goals. I work with individuals, couples, and families aged 16 to 65, providing care that is inclusive, affirming, and tailored to each client’s specific needs.

I am a clinician who believes that you are the most knowledgeable when it comes to your experience. I use skills building and resource tools to support you in claiming what you need from therapy. My approach combines tangible tools, affirming and safe practices, as well as somatic exercises to navigate what is bringing you into therapy.
