As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified EMDR Therapist, I have over 14 years of experience with the VA treating trauma, anxiety, phobias, attachment wounds, depression and navigating life and career changes.

My approach to therapy is one of mutual respect and collaboration. I help clients face challenges head on and develop strategies to make life more fulfilling. I believe in the power of a strong, therapeutic relationship and believe it is vital to making progress together. I have extensive experience working with LGBT folks, those who've experienced trauma, and those with depression and anxiety.

In therapy, it's important for you to know that I'm here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. My approach is collaborative and compassionate—I’ll work with you to understand your experiences and help you move toward meaningful change. I value honesty, curiosity, and respect, and I’ll always meet you where you are emotionally and mentally. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we begin; we’ll navigate this process together at your pace.

Being a parent is a scary and exciting life long journey. The journey begins as a new mom learning to balance this new role without losing yourself.

I will work along side you to move past this obstacle.

As an EMDR-trained licensed clinical social worker, I work alongside clients to encourage vulnerability and build resiliency.

I am here to help you find relief and re-discover body acceptance.
