You don’t have to navigate this alone.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health and ART trauma therapist passionate about helping adults and teens manage the overwhelming challenges of life—whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck.

In the over 18 years of working in behavioral health as a behavior analyst, a licensed mental health counselor, and now as a licensed clinical psychologist, I have had the privilege of collaborating with children, adolescents, adults, and parents in a variety of settings and in various stages of life. Regardless of the setting, what I have found is that we are all attempting to use what we see as our best resources to navigate and improve our world or the world of those that we care about.

Everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow. As a licensed mental health therapist, I’m dedicated to creating that space for my clients, fostering a journey of healing and transformation.

Originally from the Midwest, I found my heart and home in Florida when I moved here for school in 2014. The sunshine, warm community, and opportunities to grow professionally made me stay! When I’m not working, I love spending time with friends and family—movie nights, game nights, and afternoons at the park with my nephew are some of my favorite ways to recharge and stay connected.

With over five years of experience, I’ve worked closely with children, adolescents, young adults, and families to address a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, PTSD, grief, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, self-esteem struggles, bullying, and LGBTQ+ issues. I also have experience supporting individuals with autism, antisocial personality disorder, and schizophrenia.

One of the most empowering factors in my life has been spending 32 years as an Air Force Military Spouse. This empowered me to grow and learn through lived experiences in diverse groups. I’ve been a clinical social worker and prior substance abuse counselor for 30+ years working in a public agency, private practice, and with the US Army at Fort Carson, Colorado and at SHAPE, Belgium. I work across all ages to include both adults and children. In addition to my MSW in clinical social worker, I have an advanced graduate degree in Infant and Early Childhood Special Education Leadership and a doctorate degree in Curriculum and Diversity Studies.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in practice as a psychotherapist since 2018. My career in psychotherapy was sparked by a curiosity about how a person becomes who they are and what influences their trajectory in life and has been driven by a passion to help others heal from afflictions and reclaim their lives. I specialize in treating trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and emotional dysregulation. I have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Polyvagal-Informed Therapy (PVT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through working with a diverse array of populations and environments including Veterans, sexual assault survivors, domestic violence survivors, adults, adolescents, inpatient crisis stabilization, and outpatient therapy, I feel privileged to have gained the insight and tools to help people navigate through their healing journey, and work towards of a fulfilling life.
