I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with several years of experience, now building my own private practice so I can give each person the focused, personalized care they deserve. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD — conditions that can feel isolating, but often respond well to the right support and the right provider. I offer telehealth appointments, including evenings and weekends, so getting care fits into your life rather than the other way around. Whether you're looking for medication management, ongoing mental health support, or simply a place to start, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Psychologist

I'm a licensed psychologist and consider myself a generalist with a wide variety of clinical interests including issues related to family of origin, self esteem, identity development, depression, anxiety, stress, and interpersonal relationships.

Attending to mental health can have such a profound effect on quality of life and ability to function! Yet, it can seem so vulnerable and scary to make that first appointment, even if we know it will help. Great job leaning into that discomfort, prioritizing your needs, and pushing toward growth!

Therapist

With nearly thirty years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) I bring warmth and a genuine commitment to helping people move forward in their lives.

I work with a wide range of ages, from teens and young adults, to older individuals who find themselves at a crossroad and looking to make a change. Anxiety, Depression and Executive Functioning are several of the issues I cover. I also have a particular interest in Family Therapy, including the unique challenges that come with divorce and co-parenting.

I feel change really happens when we shift our attention toward new possibilities. I draw from a blend of cognitive therapy and interactive techniques tailored for the individuality of each client. My style is warm, direct, and often infused with humor, an essential part of healing.

I am highly responsive and profoundly invested in the well-being of every client.
