I get it. You’re tired of feeling stuck, exhausted, and like nothing’s really changing. You’ve been carrying a lot, and it’s starting to feel heavy. As a psychotherapist in practice for over 10 years, I’m passionate about walking alongside adults on their healing journey, especially those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you're a professional burning out, a veteran facing emotional pain, or a student trying to find your footing, I offer support rooted in compassion and real tools like EMDR and CBT. More importantly, I create a space where you can show up just as you are and feel truly seen, safe, and supported.

I began my career working with children and quickly expanded my expertise to include adults and couples. Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their mental health journey. I provide compassionate, individualized care for adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health challenges.

My approach combines comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. I believe treatment should be collaborative—not simply about prescribing medication. I take time to understand your symptoms, experiences, concerns, and goals so that we can develop a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
