I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, insomnia, sleep problems, life stress, adjustment concerns, and relationship challenges so they can feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives.

Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way and build a path forward that aligns with your goals.

You have learned a lot about what works/doesn't work for you over the years, so let's work together and build on that. I have found that small changes in thoughts, attitudes, and actions can snowball into big differences for clients. I have experience in private practice, schools and inpatient mental health that I will gladly bring to the table to help you! My master's degree is in counseling education, and I have had my License as a Professional Counselor for 13 years. I have completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused therapy and many others and continue to expand my knowledge with trainings continuously. I have had the most experience in schools working with children dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder/Persistent Demand Avoidance. My work in private practice included anxiety, depression, divorce recovery work with AODA issues. I also have exposure to a wide variety of mental disorders from my time working in inpatient mental health. I seek to specialize mostly in anxiety and depression on this platform, but will keep an open mind to other issues that I might be able to help.

I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I believe when people find their purpose they find motivation. I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands others challenges and work at ensuring the client understands the why of what one does to foster behavioral changes.
