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.

I'm an experienced psychopharmacologist and enthusiast of neuromodulation techniques and novel treatment approaches.

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

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.

Depression, anxiety, and ongoing stress can leave you feeling stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You might sense that something isn’t working, but it’s hard to untangle how your inner world and external environment are interacting. I earned my MSC from the University of Phoenix in 2009, and my path into therapy began with my own healing journey as a young adult—a process that gave me clarity, direction, and a deep respect for the work of self-discovery.

With a blend of empathy and curiosity, collaboratively we will unravel the complexities of each person’s inner world. Every individual has a unique narrative that deserves careful and curious attention.

You might find yourself replaying conversations in your mind, questioning whether you said the right thing, or feeling emotionally drained by the effort it takes to hold everything together. Anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles can quietly shape how you see yourself and the people around you, leaving you unsure how to express what you truly need or how to feel understood. On the outside, life may appear steady, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns that are hard to change. These experiences can make it difficult to trust your instincts or feel confident in your relationships. Therapy can offer a place to slow down, reflect, and begin understanding the patterns that keep you feeling stuck so that new ways of relating—to yourself and to others—can start to take shape.

Depression, anxiety, or the effects of trauma can make it hard to feel like yourself, even when you are doing your best to keep up with everyday life. You may feel caught in worry, weighed down by difficult emotions, or notice that past experiences continue to shape how you respond in the present. When these patterns become familiar, it can be difficult to see how things could change. Therapy can help you better understand what you are experiencing, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical ways to cope and move forward.

Anxiety, trauma, and major life changes can leave you feeling unsteady—like you’re constantly adjusting but never quite finding your footing. On the outside, you may seem capable and composed, but inside, there’s a steady undercurrent of self-doubt, exhaustion, or memories that surface without warning. If you're feeling overwhelmed by internal noise or old wounds reopening, you’re not alone. There is a way through that doesn’t require pushing harder or pretending you’re fine.

You may feel like you’re always on guard, as if your mind and body never fully get the chance to rest. Trauma can leave you carrying memories, emotions, or reactions that show up long after the events themselves have passed. Childhood trauma and PTSD often shape how you see yourself, how safe the world feels, and how close you allow others to get. Many people move through life appearing “fine” on the outside while quietly managing waves of fear, disconnection, or self-doubt inside. None of this means you’re broken—it means your mind learned ways to protect you during painful experiences. Therapy can be a place to begin understanding those patterns with compassion and gradually create new ways of relating to yourself, your past, and the present moment.

Big life changes can leave you feeling unsteady, even when you are doing your best to keep moving forward. A new job, a loss, a move, or the end of a relationship can bring anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection from the stability you once knew. You may feel overwhelmed, unsure of yourself, or caught in thoughts that make the transition feel even harder. These moments can be painful, but they can also become a place to build resilience, gain insight, and begin finding steadier ground again.

Growing up, I witnessed the importance of understanding and supporting loved ones through difficult times, which sparked my desire to help others navigate their struggles. What continues to inspire me in this profession is the ever-changing nature of the world. As society evolves, so do the mental health needs of individuals, offering me endless opportunities to learn, grow, and adapt my approach to better support those I work with.
