I bring a rich background in clinical experience including work within community mental health, residential facilities, school-based services and private practice.

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.

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.

I came into this field by chance, but I quickly realized it was exactly where I was meant to be. Through my early experiences mentoring students, I discovered a deep passion for guiding others through challenges and helping them grow. Now, as a therapist, I am committed to providing a space where individuals and families can heal, reconnect, and move forward.

I specialize in delivering compassionate and personalized care tailored to your unique journey. Beyond treating symptoms, I focus on understanding your story and achieving lasting positive change collaboratively.

Being a part of someone’s recovery from mental health struggles and witnessing them live up to their full potential is truly a rewarding privilege. I believe in a holistic approach to medication management, considering the whole person rather than just symptoms. My goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care that empowers clients to take control of their mental health and overall well-being.

My passion for mental health comes from a deep desire to support individuals in their most vulnerable moments. Witnessing the transformative power of treatment—how it provides hope, insight, and relief—motivated me to dedicate my career to this field. Every day, I am inspired by the strength of my clients as they work toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

Taking the first step toward healing and personal growth takes courage. Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to provide support, guidance, and a safe space for exploration and healing.

As a therapist, I serve as a supportive and empowering partner in my clients' life journeys, facilitating their path to healing and purpose discovery.

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 therapist because of my own experiences with not being seen or heard during a challenging childhood. That experience motivated me to become someone who truly listens and supports others through their struggles. Seeing the progress my clients make—both in small steps and significant breakthroughs—continues to inspire and energize me every day.

Relationship wounds—especially the ones that begin in childhood or within our families—have a way of showing up again and again. You might find yourself stuck in the same arguments, feeling invisible in your closest relationships, or unsure how to express what you need without guilt or fear. These patterns can be painful, but they also hold clues about what’s been missing. Whether you’re navigating challenges with a partner or trying to untangle the lasting impact of a mother-daughter relationship, healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
