As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with adults and families, I look forward to partnering with you and offering support as we navigate some of the curveballs that life throws your way.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels safe, collaborative, and human. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and non-judgmental, with an emphasis on helping clients feel understood while building insight and emotional resilience.

I am a licensed therapist with advanced training in trauma-informed and parts-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work primarily with adults, parents, and caregivers navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the impact of complex or relational trauma. Many of my clients are managing over-responsibility, boundary challenges, or the pressures of caregiving and midlife transitions.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and support clients exploring identity, authenticity, and belonging. I also enjoy working with parents of neurodiverse children and who may be neurodiverse themselves. My style blends evidence-based practices with warmth and flexibility, helping clients feel more grounded, connected to themselves, and better equipped to meet their lives with clarity and confidence.

Not only am I extremely passionate about my practice, but I also provide clinical-based expertise and community-based education during conference presentations, workshops, health fairs, and podcasts.

Additionally, I am also a distinguished member of the Epsilon Omega Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society. Within the community, I actively serve on several committees for my local, state, and national organizations..

I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

Great to meet you!
