I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient care, school-based therapy, partial programs, and community mental health. I work with adolescents and adults ages 13 to 64, and I support clients dealing with anxiety and depression, PTSD, life transitions, neurodivergence (such as autism and ADHD), and women’s mental health concerns. My approach to therapy is eclectic, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I believe therapy works best when it’s tailored to you—your goals, your strengths, and what you need right now. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I’m also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Most importantly, I strive to create a warm, genuine, and safe space where you can be yourself and share what’s really going on. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, and my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered as you move toward growth and healing.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, my focus is on helping you feel at ease and supported as we get to know each other. We’ll spend time talking about your strengths and what has helped you in the past, and we’ll begin to shape an approach that feels right for you. From there, we’ll work together to create a thoughtful, individualized path that supports both your therapeutic goals and what you want for your life moving forward.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) we will work together to notice unhelpful or negative thought patterns, learn to challenge or reframe those thoughts, and practice new behaviors that support your goals.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
The therapeutic alliance — the collaborative relationship between therapist and client — is often considered one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes in therapy, sometimes even more important than the specific techniques or interventions used.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care changes the entire tone of the therapeutic space. Understanding how trauma can impact someone’s emotions, behaviors, relationships, and even their body, we will do more than just treat symptoms — I will create safety, choice, and empowerment in your treatment.
Eclectic
Individualized therapy is where real, meaningful change happens. By blending strengths-based work with tailored interventions, we will not just address “problems” — but we will tap into your own resilience, capacity, and agency.
