With over a decade of experience in the healthcare field, I bring a strong foundation of clinical expertise and compassionate care. For eight years, I worked as a Med-Surg nurse, travel nurse, and cardiac nurse, gaining diverse experience across high-acuity settings and patient populations. The variety of roles allowed me to develop adaptability, resilience, and a deep understanding of both acute and chronic health conditions. It also allowed me to see the role mental health plays and the importance it holds.

This blend of medical-surgical and psychiatric experience equips me with a comprehensive perspective on patient care, allowing me to treat the whole person—not just the diagnosis.

I enjoy working with individual teens, adults, couples, and families around a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Spectrum, relationships, divorce, blended families, parenting, anger management, and low self-esteem; struggling with the challenges of everyday life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process; where I assist in increasing self-awareness and personal strengths so there can be new perspectives gained while decreasing unwanted symptoms, and people can have a more meaningful life experience. I want to offer support, insight and compassion to help you cope with or overcome your challenges. I will work with you to facilitate positive change and the adoption of healthier attitudes and responses; you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
