My Approach to helping.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with over 25 years of experience treating adults. I am dedicated to helping clients build resilience and develop long-term coping strategies that support lasting mental health. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety and panic, mood and personality-related challenges, interpersonal problems, self-esteem concerns, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), trauma, grief, life transitions, adjustment issues, and stress management.

Life can be very stressful with the many obligations and demands placed on us. Whether it be at home or work, being overwhelmed seems to be 'the norm' these days. You may feel like you have to do it all or somehow, you're a failure. Maybe you're feeling that having the relationships you want are out of reach; or living the life you always imagined just isn't happening; or feeling alone even when surrounded by people. I chose to be a therapist because I know firsthand that change is possible. You see, it was by reaching out for help that I was able to break the patterns that were preventing me from reaching my goals. I decided I wanted to help others the way I was helped. If you're willing to do the work, you can have the life you long for. You only need to believe it's possible. I do.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of experience and a foundation in family primary care. Since beginning my nursing career in 2011, I’ve dedicated my work to helping adults manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. I focus on supporting people as they build healthy coping skills, strengthen resilience, and feel empowered to move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

I am a Licensed Marriage and (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) who works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I specialize in helping people who feel tired, overwhelmed, and unsure of their next step, but are ready for change. I work with clients who are carrying more than they let others see, and I help them gain clarity, build healthier patterns, and feel more grounded and in control of their lives.

My primary goal is to make anyone I work with feel safe as they explore vulnerable parts of their lives and past experiences. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship, one rooted in trust and a lack of judgment, allows for lasting and empowering change. If you are experiencing difficulty coping with life stressors or transitions, or are curious about exploring your past and its impact on your life today, I'd love to connect for a consultation. I might also be a good fit for you if you are looking for parent coaching as well as support with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) management. Thanks, and I look forward to speaking with you!

If you're ready to better understand yourself, break free from self-doubt, and create a life that feels more authentic, therapy can help. Together, we'll explore how your past experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. My goal is to help you develop emotional maturity, strengthen self-awareness, and learn to embrace the present instead of living in anxiety or fear of what might happen. You'll gain practical tools to set healthy boundaries, prioritize your own needs without guilt, and build a life guided by your values rather than your fears. My work is grounded in a person-centered approach. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, respect, and honesty. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. It does not have to feel stiff or clinical. Growth can include insight, practical tools, and even moments of humor. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and aligned with the version of yourself you want to become — not a “perfect” version, but a more authentic and self-assured one.
