I've worked with every stage of life - teenagers figuring themselves out, working adults running on empty, older adults navigating major transitions - and I've learned that there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to getting better. What you'll get from me is full attention, an honest approach, and a commitment to meeting you where you actually are. I spent years in inpatient care, and what kept pulling me back to outpatient work is this: I love watching people move forward. That's what I'm here for.
I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.
My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and women’s issues, including maternal mental health and postpartum concerns.

I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, better understand what you’re experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe healing is an ongoing journey that looks different for each individual. I invoke a holistic approach and utilize approaches based in psychodynamic theory, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques. As part of the therapeutic process, I want to build a brave space with you, and empower you through your healing journey.

Life has a way of leaving marks on us — and I've spent over 30 years helping people understand those marks, heal from them, and build something better on the other side.
My work has taken me into some of the most challenging spaces imaginable: elementary schools, detention centers, maximum-security prisons, psychiatric hospitals, and community-based settings. What I've learned from walking alongside people in those environments is that healing is possible anywhere — and that every person, no matter their background or story, deserves a therapist who genuinely sees them.
