I work with adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, and life transitions.

By incorporating psychoeducation into therapy, I help clients gain the knowledge needed not just to understand the how, but the why.

As a Marine Corps spouse of 23 years, I was afforded the amazing opportunity to gain professional knowledge and skills in both military and civilian populations in the continental U.S. and abroad.

These experiences equipped me with the knowledge and tools necessary to provide clients with a unique therapeutic experience supported by evidenced-based interventions.
