Having witnessed the impact of mental health conditions within my own family, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals grappling with Anxiety and Depression.
I chose a career in mental health care because I have seen firsthand the profound impact that treatment can have—not just on individuals, but also on their families and communities. I am inspired by the opportunity to help clients overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and become the best version of themselves. My approach is holistic, incorporating both medication management and non-pharmacological strategies to provide comprehensive care tailored to each person’s unique needs.
With over 35 years of experience in mental health, I've journeyed from assisting hospitalized individuals with mental illness to providing psychotherapy for hundreds of clients.
I am dedicated to fostering a warm and nurturing relationship with my clients while shedding light along their path. The therapeutic process begins by inviting you into an environment that is safe to be vulnerable and welcoming, so that you may process where you find yourself in life, and where you wish to be.
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.
Specializing in trauma recovery, I work with my clients to create a warm, supportive, and safe space in which to rebuild self-esteem and confidence in survivors, helping them reclaim ownership of the self.
I am a good listener, and emphatic, nonjudgmental provider. I truly care about my patients and will go the extra mile to make sure they are properly cared for.
I became a mental health provider because I’ve seen firsthand how inadequate treatment can affect those struggling with mental health challenges. Witnessing this motivated me to pursue a career where I could ensure patients receive compassionate, effective care. My patients inspire me every day, and my goal is always to provide treatment that helps them feel happier and more in control of their lives.
Often, people seek out therapy in the hopes to decrease suffering and increase connection to who/what they care about. My life's work is to be skillful at supporting the people who consult me in achieving their unique version of these goals.
