I became a mental health clinician because of my deep passion for understanding people and helping them navigate life's complexities with compassion and care. Witnessing the resilience of individuals inspires me daily, and I am honored to provide a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore and embrace their authentic selves. My goal is to help individuals overcome challenges and build a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
Embarking on a journey of self-improvement can feel daunting and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals overcome trauma and life's challenges by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. My therapy approach is Strength-Based, focused on building resilience and empowering you to face difficulties head-on.
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.
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.
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.
Having witnessed the impact of mental health conditions within my own family, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals grappling with Anxiety and Depression.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
