I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and complex mood disorders. I'm also deeply passionate about women’s mental health and helping patients navigate unique life transitions, hormonal shifts, and the intersecting challenges that affect women's well-being. In our sessions, you aren't just a diagnosis; you're a whole person. Together, we'll combine advanced clinical expertise with a compassionate, tailored approach to help you achieve lasting wellness and peace of mind. My hope for you is not just symptom management, but true flourishing.
I'm most passionate about the transformative healing journey that begins when a patient feels fully heard and understood. My clinical approach is rooted in exploring a person's complete history and past traumas to understand the 'why' behind their current challenges. By getting to the root of these issues, I can provide targeted care.
My approach is collaborative and rooted in the connection between physical and mental health. I combine evidence-based treatments with a trauma-informed lens to understand and treat the root causes of distress, rather than just managing symptoms. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel genuinely heard, valued, and empowered.

My career as a NICU RN shaped my understanding of trauma, stress & the long-term psychological impact of medical/life events on patients & families. This led me to pursue training in psychiatric mental health, with a focus on supporting women, trauma-related conditions & mood & anxiety disorders.

My approach is grounded in CBT. I also draw from a wide range of modalities to ensure care is collaborative & dynamic. Recognizing that every person's journey is unique, I take an integrative & whole-body approach to care.
