The hardest things we carry often start early, and they can quietly shape how we show up in our relationships, our parenting, and our sense of self. If you are feeling stretched thin or unsure how to move forward, you are not alone, and reaching out is a meaningful first step. My own path into this work grew from childhood experiences that taught me how much it matters to have someone in your corner. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an MS from Notre Dame de Namur University, 2018. I work with children 6 and older, couples, and parents, and I believe people can heal, reconnect, and grow into who they want to be.

Big life changes can shake your footing. A new job, a loss, a move, a relationship ending, and suddenly anxiety or depression settles in where stability used to be. You may feel unmoored, and that is a deeply human response to change. I believe everyone deserves a safe space to be heard and understood while navigating life's challenges, and creating that space is at the heart of what I do. I earned my MA from Texas State University in 2014, and I work with adults 18 and older. I am continually inspired by the strength people show in hard moments, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they grow.

Anxiety, depression, and the lingering weight of trauma can leave you feeling on edge, drained, or unsafe in your own mind. You deserve a space where you can set all of that down and be met without judgment. As a child, I did not feel welcomed by a therapist, and that experience is exactly what drives me to offer something different. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an MC from University of Phoenix, 2012, and I work with clients 13 and older. Human vulnerability moves me, and I believe in each person's ability to change and grow.

I was drawn to a career in mental health by a deep curiosity about how people make meaning of their experiences and a desire to support others through periods of struggle and change. Over time, witnessing the resilience and growth that can emerge when individuals feel seen and understood has reinforced that choice. I continue to be inspired by the opportunity to help clients reconnect with their values, build psychological flexibility, and move toward lives that feel more purposeful. Being part of that process—where even small shifts can lead to meaningful change—remains both humbling and motivating.

Living with anxiety, depression, or the lasting weight of trauma can make even ordinary days feel exhausting. Your mind races or goes numb, sleep suffers, and it can seem like no one quite understands what you are carrying. You deserve a space where you can set that weight down and be heard.
