Hello Women, Moms & Kids. Are you a woman struggling with overwhelm, life-work balance, going through divorce, dealing with anxiety or depression, or just not enjoying where you're at in life? Or do you have a child struggling with mental wellness? My goal is dedicated to empowering you and/or your child to become who you were meant to be. I specialize with women, kids, parents, and teen girls. I offer in person, virtual, and nature based wellness sessions. I have a masters in clinical psychology and have been practicing for over 25 years.
Although my degree is in Mental Health Counseling, my treatment method is psychoanalysis. This means that each treatment is developed and conducted for the client in question, their specific issues and inquiries they have about their own symptom.
Psychoanalysis emphasizes on guiding individuals in finding their own resources, gaining a knowledge about what is happing to them and the cause of their distress.
I am currently accepting new clients. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the step to reach out is often the hardest part, so congratulations on being here.

After 15 years in this field, I know how much lighter life can feel with the right support, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have been a nurse for over 20 years and the majority of my background comes from working in public health and child protective services. I am passionate about providing care that is both clinically effective and deeply human. My work is rooted in an evidence based approach, which means I rely on proven treatments, research and best practices to guide care.
I have wanted to be a therapist since I was twelve years old after seeing a guru use his expertise to connect with a troubled child who had only known how to push others away. Over twenty five years later, I'm privileged enough to have found my own niche, working with individual adults address the impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. They have proven that the capacity to love and embrace life can be rediscovered, even for those who have lived through the unbearable.

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor with specialty training in trauma, eating disorders and perinatal mood disorders. It is my deepest joy to partner with clients and support whole-person healing. Whether you've experienced infertility, a traumatic or unexpected birthing experience, childhood trauma or an eating disorder, I will hold space for your experiences and foster an environment for you to grow and heal.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve tried therapy before and felt like it didn’t quite click. My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens when we learn new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to our emotions—not just talking about them.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a trauma-informed lens, specializing in addiction, women’s issues, adolescents, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience supporting parents and individuals impacted by a loved one’s substance use, including navigating boundaries, codependency, burnout, and complicated emotions such as guilt, fear, and grief.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel accepted, understood, and gently challenged to grow. Many clients tell me they appreciate that our work goes beyond listening alone—we focus on learning practical skills and applying them to real-life situations.
I also have a background in Christianity and am comfortable integrating faith and spirituality into therapy when desired by the client. I respect each person’s beliefs and values and approach spiritual topics with openness, curiosity, and sensitivity.
