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.

When anxiety, grief, or self-doubt take over, even the simplest moments can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself questioning your worth, withdrawing from loved ones, or feeling disconnected from the life you truly want. With an MA in Transpersonal Psychology from Naropa University (2005) and an MA in Art Therapy from St. Mary of the Woods College (2011), my journey into the mental health field has been fueled by a desire to help people heal, grow, and uncover new possibilities for themselves.

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.

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 became a therapist because I’m passionate about helping others move from a place of feeling disempowered to one of peace, growth, and self-acceptance. Life’s transitions can feel overwhelming, but I believe in guiding clients through these challenges by helping them tap into their inner strengths. Together, we address negative thinking patterns and self-sabotage, working toward meaningful and lasting change.

Grief, trauma, and anxiety can make the world feel unsteady—like you’re constantly trying to find your footing while carrying an invisible weight. You might feel isolated in your pain, unsure how to move forward, or overwhelmed by emotions that don’t seem to make sense. These experiences can feel disorienting, but they don’t have to define you. I specialize in supporting individuals through the emotional impact of trauma, loss, and anxiety, helping them reconnect with their strength and sense of clarity.

Hello, Nice to Meet you! - I bring a gentle and supportive perspective from time spent in several different settings within the mental-health field. I value every person’s journey as unique and know that trust is something that is earned in the therapeutic relationship.

In our therapeutic journey together, I aim to provide a welcoming and secure environment for your healing and personal growth.

My approach is collaborative with a focus on building awareness and flexibility in coping styles, with the goal of decreasing symptoms as quickly as possible.

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.

In my practice, I provide individual and family therapy that blends holistic principles and evidence-based practices with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

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.
