My therapeutic approach is not confined to a singular method; I adapt so I can meet the individual's specific needs and preferences, fostering a supportive environment for personal growth and healing.
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.
As an experienced licensed mental health therapist, I’ve had the privilege to work with many high-achieving and accomplished professionals to help them realize their goals to live a joyful and fulfilled life. I provide a safe therapeutic space for you to explore the issues you’re dealing with so you can gain insight and move toward a healthier and more happy life.
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 therapy, I aim to help you achieve your goal—to improve, grow, or overcome challenges. Together, we'll identify your desired outcomes and develop a personalized plan backed by effective research.
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.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by ongoing anxiety, mood changes, or experiences that have been difficult to fully process. You might also be navigating concerns about your child, noticing struggles that are hard to understand or patterns that don’t seem to shift—such as intense emotional responses, withdrawal, or a sense of disconnection. This uncertainty can feel exhausting, especially when things appear “fine” on the outside but feel very different internally. With the right support, it is possible to gain insight into these patterns and move toward a more stable, hopeful way forward.
You may have spent much of your life feeling misunderstood, judged, or like you had to hide important parts of yourself just to be accepted. Maybe you've learned to adapt to others' expectations while quietly carrying stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or the feeling that no one truly sees the full picture of who you are. For neurodivergent individuals especially, navigating a world that isn't always built with your experiences in mind can be exhausting. Over time, these experiences can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and uncertain about where you belong. I believe your experiences matter, and that meaningful change begins when you have the freedom to show up as your authentic self and feel genuinely understood.
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.
Living with anxiety, depression, or the lasting weight of trauma can make even ordinary days feel harder than they should. Your mind may race or shut down, sleep may feel out of reach, and you might feel alone in pain that others cannot fully see. Over time, carrying so much can leave you exhausted and disconnected from the person you want to be. Healing may not happen all at once, but with steady support, it is possible to move through what hurts and begin feeling more grounded, capable, and like yourself again.
In my practice, I offer a compassionate environment where clients can freely share their stories, embarking on a journey of growth and healing together.
Some days, anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma can make even familiar parts of life feel more difficult. You may find yourself caught in negative thoughts, pulling away from things you once enjoyed, or reacting to situations in ways you do not fully understand. Over time, it can be easy to feel stuck in those patterns or wonder whether things can really change. Therapy can help you look more closely at what is happening and develop practical ways to respond that can make daily life feel more manageable.
