Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, difficult relationships, or painful experiences from the past. You may find yourself putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and create healthier relationships. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentic.

Getting honest about what you are carrying can feel like the hardest and loneliest thing you have ever done. I work with adults, teens, and older adults who are navigating recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and the big life transitions that leave you feeling stuck. A lot of the people I see have been holding things together on the outside for a long time while quietly struggling underneath. Clients often tell me they finally feel heard and understood here, without any judgment.

I have been licensed since 2020 and have been working in a private practice ever since. Currently I see individuals ages 13 and up. I am a straight forward counselor and not afraid to call clients out on their inconsistencies. (You are saying you want these changes in life to be made but are your actions in line with your goals). Overall I go by the motto..if you are not changing it, then you are choosing it.

Hello—I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I received my Master’s degree from the University of Utah in 2009. I deeply believe in the value of seeking support—because being human means navigating both grief and gratitude, often at the same time.

There are seasons in life when we need additional support, and you don’t have to move through those alone. I strive in helping you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and make sense of what you’re carrying.

I specialize in women’s mental health, anxiety, betrayal trauma, divorce, grief, and loss.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, heard, and accepted. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and have experience in private practice, medical social work, community mental health, and pediatric therapy. I am EMDR-trained and integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based therapy, and play therapy when working with children.

I work with clients across the lifespan and enjoy helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety and stress, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and build resilience. My approach is collaborative and individualized because I believe every person brings unique strengths and experiences to therapy.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and the life you want to create.
