Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns, unsure why? Are you facing big life changes- starting out, starting over, or somewhere in between? I work with clients from young adults navigating independence to older adults facing loss, identity shifts, or new purpose. I aim to be a mirror, a soundboard, and a source of steady encouragement. I believe in showing up with transparency and compassion, and I value building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, involvement, and accountability. I am not afraid of tough conversations, so you don't have to fear sharing your truth.

I am currently employed full time as a clinical manager at a community mental health counseling center. I have spent several years practicing in mental health outpatient clinics as well as substance use outpatient clinics as a psychotherapist, group therapist, and supervisor. My passion for the connection and growth created in psychotherapy has motivated my private practice.

I believe in a compassionate, patient-centered approach to care. When working with patients, I start by listening carefully to their concerns and goals. Together, we will create a treatment plan that may include therapy, medication, or lifestyle strategies tailored to individual needs. I emphasize open communication, respect, and education so patients feel informed and empowered in their mental health journey.

I am approachable and I like to provide a safe space.
