Therapy should feel real, honest, and worth your time. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum struggles, first responder life, and all the messy in-betweens. As a trained EMDR therapist (and a mom of two and a fire wife who knows this world personally), I offer direct but compassionate support. You’ll get practical tools, honest feedback, and space to do the hard work, not just vent and leave. If you're ready to finally break old patterns, I’m here to help you get unstuck.

I specialize in adult, adolescent, and child psychiatry, providing compassionate, evidence-based care for challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, and schizophrenia.

Whether you’re overcoming obstacles, seeking stability, or striving for growth, I tailor treatment plans to meet your needs and walk with you every step of the way. Patients often describe me as approachable and down-to-earth, and I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Above all, my goal is to ease the fears or uncertainties you may feel about seeking help. From our first meeting, you’ll be met with compassion, professionalism, and a commitment to your well-being. Together, we’ll navigate your path toward healing and a healthier future.
