I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life’s harder moments with over a decade of experience.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health with over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate life's challenges. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression and trauma-related disorders using evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches.

I am excited to help guide you along your journey. I enjoy observing the transformation that occurs in my clients lives over time. Perhaps your seeking a deeper understanding of your emotions or simply a feeling of peace and contentment. Changes can occur through therapy. Lets collaborate and discuss your goals that support the life your are seeking to change or improve.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker that specializes in providing compassionate support to individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, and military/veteran support. My practice focuses on empowering clients aged 18 and above to heal and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

I received my Masters of Social Work with a specialization in Trauma and Interpersonal Violence from Simmons University in 2016 and achieved full clinical licensure in 2020. Through my experiences working with military members and their families, I have learned the importance of a holistic approach to therapy, focusing not just on symptom management, but also on addressing the root cause, and helping clients build skills that can be used outside of the session. After all, in any given week, there are 167 hours’ worth of living done outside of therapy.

If you’re carrying the weight of trauma, you’ve already done one of the hardest things—survived. My role is to help you do something even more powerful: live without feeling like your past is running the show.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration—a combination that gives me both the clinical insight and the practical clarity to help clients create real, sustainable change. My background allows me to understand people deeply while also recognizing the real-world pressures they navigate every day. Whether we’re working through trauma, rebuilding confidence, or creating a path forward, you’ll find that our work together is grounded, strategic, and truly transformative.

I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.

While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.

One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.
