I work with children and adults navigating through life changes, anxiety, depression and burnout.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an MA in Psychology in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy, and a BS in Psychology. My clinical background includes private practice, community mental health, inpatient care, crisis response, and school-based settings. I have expertise in crisis assessment and intervention, adolescent mental health, autism, and ADHD.

I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or are navigating difficult life seasons. As a parent of children with special needs, I understand the unique challenges families face in balancing a child’s needs with their own emotional well-being. I draw on both my personal and clinical experience to help clients navigate treatment, school systems, IEPs, advocacy, and complex parenting.

Through therapy, clients develop new skills, discover new insights, and strengthen their resilience for whatever life brings.

You may have held doubts about talk therapy and perhaps are thinking therapy may not work at all for what you are dealing with. Psychotherapy like all science is continually changing. Both new and long held approaches to well-being are vast. I invite you to consider Brainspotting before you rule out therapy entirely. My role as a Brainspotting clinician is to offer you support, as you discover your innate capacity for positive self change. I specialize in trauma focused therapy, specializing in treating anxiety disorders. I focus on various forms of addiction, OCD, behavioral issues, depression, bi-polar and mood disorders.

I am a masters level trained Brainspotting clinician and a U.S. Army veteran. I believe in facilitating change in a supportive environment, following and observing your amazing capacity to heal from trauma in your therapeutic work. I work with veterans, first-responders, and other populations struggling with unresolved trauma and anxiety disorders.

Your unique circumstances are to be understood, honored respected and explored in a judgement free, supportive and caring environment. The issues that you bring into therapy remain entirely up to you. I will listen to your wants and needs; joining you on the journey towards your desired sense of well-being.

It's a Blessing to Meet You!

I provide empathic, compassionate care in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected.
