Therapy isn’t just for crises—it can be a supportive space for navigating everyday stress from work, school, and relationships. I’m so glad you’re taking the first step in getting support! I strive to create a compassionate and safe space where individuals feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe that the therapeutic relationship we build together is the foundation for meaningful growth and change. I consider it a privilege to work with pre-teens (age 10+), adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s many challenges.
I am passionate about working with individuals impacted by trauma, going through life transitions, or struggling with anxiety, depression, or stress. I use a collaborative, compassionate approach with evidence-based care tailored to help each person reach their needs and goals.
With over 20 years of experience working with children and families, my background includes providing in-home interventions for children facing emotional and behavioral challenges. This experience continues to inform my work today. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey—wherever you may be starting from—and to celebrate your progress.

I pull from a variety of evidence based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Solution focused. I tailor strategies used to meet the individual needs of the client. I am also trained in treatment for PTSD. I want you to gain new tools to use outside of session and have a space to talk and process through things you feel are important.
