Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from who you really are? Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or major life transitions, you don’t have to go through it alone. I work with individuals who are ready to do the work—at their own pace—toward healing, growth, and becoming their most authentic self. I believe the heart of therapy begins with meeting you exactly where you are. In this non-judgmental space, you can begin to explore the patterns and pain points that are holding you back. I’m here to flag the path forward and walk alongside you as you move toward clarity, resilience, and change.
With over 15 years of experience in community mental health, I bring a deep understanding of real-life challenges and the tools to navigate them. I’m trained in Brainspotting, a powerful approach that helps release trauma, anxiety, and emotional blocks on a deeper level. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up fully and be seen.
In our first few sessions, we’ll focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship—one grounded in trust and genuine connection. I’ll listen closely, and together we’ll explore what’s working, what isn’t, and what healing could look like for you. I do this work because I've seen-and lived-how transformative it can be. I'd be honored to work with you!

I assess each of my clients and we build a treatment plan based on specific needs and goals. I utilize Brainspotting to explore deeper patterns that stem from the subconscious mind often out of our control. If this is not a fit for you, I will assess other modalities that can be a better fit for you and offer a variety of tools and ways to heal.
