I became a mental health clinician because life can be hard, and it is important that people have a safe space to work through life's hardships. Counseling inspires me as no matter what life throws at you, there are people around to provide support. I intend to be a place that people can find support and have someone walk beside them as they tackle new and old hurts.

Carrying trauma, anxiety, or depression can make even the simplest parts of life feel exhausting. You may feel like you're doing everything you can to keep going while quietly carrying pain that others cannot see. When you've spent so long holding everything together, it can be hard to imagine things feeling any different. I believe healing begins with feeling truly heard. Together, we can make sense of what you've been through, build on your strengths, and help you move toward a life that feels steadier, more connected, and more like your own.

Exposure to generational trauma and the hope of breaking the cycle motivated my career choice in mental health. People oftentimes have limited control over what happens to them, but they have full control of how they respond. My goal is to empower individuals to respond in ways that reduce trauma, improve self-image, and allow them to be the best version of themselves.

I began my career in emergency medicine, where I discovered a natural ability to connect with people in the midst of trauma. That experience led me to pursue deeper training in mental health, particularly in helping individuals express what can feel unspeakable. Whether through talk or art, I’m passionate about supporting people as they explore how early experiences shape their beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. I strive to be engaging and interactive to facilitate healing of the body and mind.

Depression can leave you feeling emotionally flat—like you’re moving through life on autopilot, disconnected from joy and unsure how to find your way back to yourself. Anxiety often walks hand in hand with it, keeping your nervous system on high alert, while past trauma quietly informs how safe you feel in your own body. These layers can be hard to untangle alone. What drew me to this work—and continues to inspire me—is the brain’s capacity to adapt and heal. Neuroplasticity reminds us that change isn’t just possible; it’s how we’re built.

My therapy approach is present-focused, strengths-based, and change-oriented. We'll explore the difficulties you're experiencing and how they're affecting you, build on your strengths and what works well for you, and work toward meaningful changes that will bring you more fulfillment, joy, and confidence. My therapy style is client-led and non-directive, meaning I don't come to sessions with a set agenda. Instead, our sessions center around what feels most important to you to address each time we meet. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, and I'm here to help you face your challenges and make meaningful changes that lead to greater well-being.

I have over 15 years of experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I understand that your care involves a collaborative approach, and I will work with your primary care provider to ensure that your behavioral health is part of your overall care.

In my practice, I offer a compassionate environment where clients can freely share their stories, embarking on a journey of growth and healing together.
