I have worked in the mental health field for the past 17 years. I have my Master's Degree in Community Counseling. I also have a certification in Marriage and Family Therapy. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy.

Being human can be hard under the best of circumstances. When anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, repetitive behaviors, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships are added, the challenges can be daunting. It is a true honor to be able to accompany people on their journey towards better navigating the challenges of life with greater calm, curiosity, compassion, and courage, as well as deeper connections with those around them. As a Professional Counselor, I have the privilege of working with clients to discover their path towards a meaningful, authentic, and rewarding life.

I come to the field of counseling after 15 years in the corporate world. My experience working with individuals with high anxiety have informed my interest in helping people overcome difficulties and achieve their potential. My areas of experience are: Anxiety and Relationships, which are often related, and other times completely independent of each other.

On the Anxiety side, I specialize in OCD, trichotillomania, skin picking, GAD, panic, trauma, and hoarding. I am passionate about working with individuals who suffer from Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors – a condition with which I personally struggled for over 15 years. I am equally passionate about working with people through their intimate relationships.

I believe growth happens when we learn to face ourselves with honesty and compassion. I work with adults who feel stuck in recurring patterns, relationship struggles, anxiety, life transitions, or questions about who they are and who they want to become. My style is warm, direct, and engaging—I’ll support you, but I’ll also help you see the things that may be difficult to see on your own. While we won't shy away from hard conversations, I believe humor can often help us approach difficult truths with a little more courage and perspective. Together, we'll work toward greater confidence, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of identity.

You may be doing everything you can to keep up with life's demands while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional ups and downs, or a major life transition, it can be exhausting trying to manage it all on your own. Therapy offers a space to slow down, better understand what you are experiencing, and create meaningful changes that support the life you want to live.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work, with more than 6 years of experience working in psychiatric settings and providing therapy.

I work with children and adolescents experiencing emotional, social, academic, and family challenges; individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and major life adjustments; and women experiencing stress, burnout, identity concerns and life transitions. I also provide caregiver support and work with families seeking healthier boundaries, stronger communication, and greater understanding of one another. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals navigating experiences related to teen pregnancy and the challenges that can accompany major life transitions.
