I'm a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) offering a supportive, judgment-free space for children, teens, and adults. I specialize in helping clients work through trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and difficult life experiences. Using approaches such as EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT, I help clients better understand their experiences, develop practical coping skills, and move toward feeling more confident and in control. My goal is to provide a safe place where you feel heard, supported, and able to move forward.

After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!

I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.

During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to beneficially serve the community and provide support to those who need it while hoping to reduce barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.
