Over nine years ago my life changed. I lost a son to suicide due to unaddressed mental health needs. A system that was overwhelmed failed him. I returned to school to help close that gap and want to work with others to start their journey towards mental wellness. As someone who has experienced depression and anxiety, I understand the challenges faced.

I am a relational therapist. This means I don’t treat you like a diagnosis to be cured, and I don't sit back as an aloof expert. We work as equals. I believe that the relationship and trust we build together in our sessions is the actual tool we use to help you heal. My focus is to help you get to the root cause of your distress and heal the relational wounds that are keeping you stuck.

Our sessions will not be "all talk therapy." I do a lot of experiential, hands-on work with my clients. Over twenty years of practice in various treatment settings has taught me that we cannot just talk our way out of deep suffering. I use creative, experiential approaches to help you safely access, process, and heal the core wounds and complex trauma that impact your daily life, your parenting, and your relationships.

I specialize in treating complex trauma and OCD. I offer alternative, "bottom-up" evidence-based approaches to healing that are designed to be less clinical, rigid, or shaming than traditional methods. If you are struggling with OCD, we can look beyond standard ERP to find a path that respects your pacing and boundaries. My goal is to provide modern, effective treatment that helps you heal without making you feel like you are being tested or judged.

I help adolescents, adults, couples, and families move beyond patterns that keep them stuck. Using EMDR, CBT, and DBT, I focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating lasting change. I approach therapy with a clear understanding of how past experiences can shape current patterns, while helping clients build practical tools to improve daily functioning. My background in crisis work allows me to provide steady, effective support even in high-stress situations.

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over 5 years of experience treating patients in the outpatient and telehealth settings. I have experience treating patients throughout the lifespan but particularly enjoy treating women who often are too busy to take time to focus on their own mental health. I am very honest and direct with my patients and enjoy empowering them to help themselves. I am open-minded and love to listen to my patients tell me their story without fear of judgement. I have background in working both in community mental health and for a large privately owned mental health organization. I fully believe in the importance in taking a collaborative approach to treating my patients.

I am specializing in treating the mental health of adolescent females and women ages 16 and up. Focused areas of treatment include maternal mental health, post-partum mental health, ADHD treatment, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma.

I am also focusing on treating healthcare professionals, first responders and busy individuals who often cannot get to an appointment due to their schedule requires working Monday thru Friday until 5pm. I am offering non-traditional appointment times to accommodate those needing a non-traditional appointment time. Mental health is just as important as physical health and should be treated as such.
