Thank you for taking time to read my profile. Making the decision to start therapy takes courage and a desire to heal from past experiences or learn how to cope with mental health symptoms. I am a licensed clinical social worker which means I believe it is important to treat the whole person while treating for example, anxiety or depressive symptoms. Together we will process issues and form coping skills or plans to move forward. I am comfortable and effective working with people from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life. I have two adult children, owned restaurants for 16 years, and experience taking care of aging parents. My education and life experience directly contributes to my ability to work with clients from all ages, race, LGBTQIA, religious background, or mental health condition.

I’ve faced life’s challenges firsthand, and I understand how heavy anxiety, grief, trauma, or major life transitions can feel. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can be your authentic self while working toward real, lasting change. I believe therapy works best when clients feel both supported and empowered. ​ My approach is warm, authentic, and occasionally direct when needed, combining compassion, practical tools, and gentle guidance. I aim to help clients feel empowered to take the steps that matter most in their lives, while also feeling supported throughout the process. Therapy here isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you discover your own strength.

I believe in the person-centered approach. I meet you where you are. I work across the life span, with my youngest patient being age 3 and my oldest patient being in their 80s. Each person is different and comes from a different experience, so I work from a holistic approach. Whether it's depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, OCD, trauma or some other issue, no one experiences symptoms the exact same way. Therefore, their treatment should not be a cookie cutter approach. Over my 15 years experience, I have been able to meet many people along the way through working in the school system, to inpatient facilities and outpatient services. I look foward to meeting you and working together to meet your needs.

At the heart of my work is a core philosophy: no one knows you better than you. My role is to help you find clarity, awareness, reconnect with your own wisdom, and take steps toward meaningful, healing, and lasting change. My client-centered approach blends experiential, trauma-informed, neurological perspectives alongside philosophical wisdom traditions that honor natural flow, personal responsibility, compassionate awareness, and mindful presence. I believe therapy thrives when it’s collaborative and stigma-free. Each session is shaped to your needs, not a template. Alongside traditional counseling, I bring Ketamine-assisted therapy and Brainspotting into the session, offering meaningful tools for exploration and lasting change.

I believe meaningful change happens when people feel heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with principles of positive psychology to help clients better understand their thoughts, build resilience, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, or simply striving for a more fulfilling life, I provide a compassionate, goal-oriented space where you can move forward with confidence. Outside of my practice, I value living an active lifestyle and understand the important connection between physical and mental well-being. I enjoy staying active and believe that movement, balance, and self-care are important components of overall health. My goal is to help clients develop practical skills that empower them to thrive not just cope in their everyday lives.

You’re used to handling a lot. Whether it’s your career, your relationships, or being the person others rely on, you’ve learned how to push through—even when it’s exhausting. But at some point, pushing through stops working. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and relationship patterns—especially when life looks “together” on the outside but feels overwhelming or unsustainable underneath. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet find themselves stuck in cycles like overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and attachment-based work. In our sessions, we’ll look at both the deeper patterns shaping your experiences and the practical strategies that help you feel better day-to-day. Clients often come to therapy wanting relief from constant stress or mental overload. Over time, they develop a clearer understanding of themselves, stronger boundaries, and the ability to respond to challenges with more focus and confidence. I’m active and engaged in the therapy process. I won’t just sit back and listen. I help you connect the dots, notice patterns in real time, and build tools that actually translate into your daily life. I bring 5 years of experience in community mental health, working with children, adolescents, and adults. Clients often describe me as calm, steady, and easy to talk to—while also helping them move forward in meaningful ways.

I believe therapy should be personalized, empowering, and focused on helping you create lasting change—not just manage symptoms.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
