I know how important it is to feel safe, understood, and not rushed when you’re talking about difficult or painful experiences. I’m a thoughtful, down-to-earth therapist who values authenticity, trust, and genuine connection. My strengths-based approach is grounded in compassion and respect, and I aim to meet each person exactly where they are without judgment.
Starting counseling can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling understood, challenged in a caring way, and equipped with practical tools you can use in your daily life.
I am a dual board-certified psychiatric and geriatric nurse practitioner with over 25 years of healthcare experience, providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to young adults, adults, and older adults. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, insomnia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and behavioral or psychological symptoms associated with dementia and complex medical conditions.
My experience spans hospital care, rehabilitation, hospice, and long-term care settings, giving me a deep understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. I am especially comfortable supporting individuals with multiple medical concerns or those navigating life transitions related to aging, illness, or stress.
I’m a therapist who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance abuse disorders with zero judgment and plenty of heart. My style blends authentic humor with practical, solution-focused steps so you can make progress that actually fits your daily life. Wherever you are on your journey, we’ll tackle the hard stuff together and build a clear path toward feeling like yourself again.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by depression, struggling with substance use, or trying to cope with grief or loss? You may feel stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults who are navigating depression, addiction, and grief. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can talk about what you’re going through, regain stability, and start building a path forward with clarity and confidence.
