Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether from anxiety, sadness, strained relationships, or simply feeling “stuck.” My goal is to walk alongside you as you discover tools to build resilience, balance, and confidence. Using evidence-based approaches, I support clients in overcoming destructive patterns and finding renewed peace in mind, body, and spirit. I believe the healing process begins in a safe, supportive space where you are truly heard. Together, we can unlock your potential and help you move toward a life that feels purposeful and fulfilling.
I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual and family. I am certified in the Strengthening Families Program and trained in crisis de-escalation, suicide prevention, and high-acuity care. My background equips me to guide clients through stress, trauma, and conflict while building healthier coping skills.
Healing begins the moment you decide to reach out. In therapy, I’ll help you find new ways of thinking, coping, and living with greater peace. I accept Medicaid (WellCare, Healthy Blue, UHC) and most major insurance plans, making care accessible. Your well-being matters; let’s take the next step forward together.
