I am a multi state licensed clinician offering Marriage Therapy for private pay along with parent-child therapy.

I am an ex-professional athlete, product of a broken home, with direct trauma experience and I am here to assist with any mental health, personal development or life's transitions; whether it's divorce, career transition, relationship building, athletic achievement, abuse, getting unstuck, discovering purpose and meaning in life, or just finally deciding to move beyond whatever stuck point you are struggling with.

I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to impart to those who are stuck, ambitious, or just confused. My journey is marked by an impressive array of certifications, including Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Sexual Offender Treatment Specialist, and Certified Forensic Trauma Specialist.

If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.

You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.

I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.

I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning. www.anchorfamilybh.com

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Experiencing transitions or periods of uncertainty? Are you going through a phase of impactful life changes? Such as moving to a new area, relationship transitions, career changes or even being on your own for the first time. I have experience working with young adults and college student's, helping them manage and find solutions during crucial periods in their life.

I’m glad you’re here. Life can feel heavy sometimes, and you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

I work with adults of all genders who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Maybe you’re constantly overthinking, having a hard time setting boundaries, carrying things from your past, or simply feeling stuck and ready for something to change.

Therapy with me is a space where you can show up as you are without judgment or pressure to have all the answers. Together, we’ll work on understanding what’s holding you back, building confidence, developing healthier ways to cope, and helping you feel more like yourself again.

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and hopeful about what comes next.

I am happy to say that I have a very full schedule. I am sad to say that I am not accepting new clients at this time. I am happy to speak with you and refer to a trusted provider if you like.

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone.

My interest in mental health began during my military service as a Survival Instructor in the United States Airforce. During this time, I had the privilege of teaching students from all walks of life the skills to survive in any environment. I became fascinated with human behavior, stress management/responses and the profound capabilities of the mind, body and spirit when faced with adversity. While navigating through the wilderness, a waypoint is defined as "a stop along ones journey." It is a safe place where the traveler can take shelter, rest, gain insight on where they've been, accept and honor where they are, and determine their way forward. It's a place for healing. This is what I strive to provide for my clients. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Northwestern University. I have experience counseling couples, teens, adult individuals, and groups. As an Airforce veteran, I have a passion for serving military members and their families. Other interests include working with blended families, and LGBTQ+ individuals and their parents
