Therapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Addiction Specialist — and this work is not just my profession, it is my calling. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating substance and behavioral addictions, and I also hold space for something that often goes unaddressed: the family members of addicted loved ones, who carry their own profound pain and deserve their own healing. I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relapse Prevention, and Self-Compassion practices. But beyond the credentials, here is what I want you to know about me: I believe that therapy is about walking beside you — not directing you, not fixing you — with the quiet understanding that we are all, in our own way, walking one another home. That belief shapes everything about how I show up for my clients.

It's so good to meet you! As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe relationships and connection to be the breeding ground for growth and stability. I consider it a privilege to support clients as they navigate the transition to parenthood, heal from parental or childhood wounds, move beyond "survival mode" by developing strategies for a more manageable and sustainable life, and identify and understand unhelpful relationship dynamics to cultivate more fulfilling and meaningful interactions.

Life has a way of changing us, sometimes in ways we never expected. My passion is helping people navigate those moments with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about reconnecting with the person you've always been beneath the stress, pain, burnout, or life transitions.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, relationship challenges, grief, substance use recovery, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. You don't have to have all the answers before you walk through my door.

My clients often describe me as genuine, compassionate, easy to talk to, and someone who isn't afraid to bring a little humor into the healing process. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and approachable. Sometimes the most powerful moments happen after we've laughed together.

Above all, I want you to know this:

You don't have to navigate life's journey alone.

I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.

Something Beautiful Counseling was built around a simple belief: that healing is possible for everyone, and therapy should feel like a real partnership — not a clinical process you're being put through.

I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on anxiety, depression, OCD, eating concerns, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, and family stress. I also offer couples therapy through a Solution-Focused approach. Whether you're carrying something heavy or just need support navigating life's transitions, there's a place here for you.
