I bring to my work a lifetime of experience with many different people in many different circumstances. My early life experience as a registered nurse enriches me as a psychologist and provides me with a unique perspective in navigating the path towards healing. I believe that the psyche holds within itself the power to heal, but our egos often get in the way. Through the struggles of life, we can lose contact with our own deep well of inner wisdom. My focus is on helping individuals develop the tools to re-connect with their true vital selves and restore balance.

Over the past twelve years I have worked in the mental health field in a variety of capacities, including inpatient units, residential facilities, and day treatment settings. My experience and training with adolescents, adults, and families in these settings has given me a practical knowledge and understanding when working alongside my clients to facilitate change. A significant part of my experience has been working with adults and adolescents coping with past trauma to adjust and move past stuck points, decrease depression, and move forward on the life they want to live.

I have worked primarily with adults, older adults, and adolescents on issues of mental health that may be impacting one's ability to function in day-to-day life such as: depression, anxiety, other mood and thought disorders, suicidality (for individuals as well as those bereaved from suicide losses), interpersonal violence, LGBTQIA+ support, topics surrounding race and culture, hoarding (both individuals affected and their loved ones), criminal justice system-involvement, and trauma (individual, intergenerational, and community).

We provide a full continuum of care at locations around the country, including residential treatment centers; a full suite of outpatient programming, with Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and outpatient services with a flexible number of days per week; telehealth; and alumni programming. All of our programs have received accreditation from the Joint Commission for Behavioral Healthcare, the nation’s most respected healthcare accreditation body.

I have a strong passion for working with individuals who have experienced trauma and who are motivated to find relief and better coping strategies. Additionally, I enjoy helping individuals who are struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, and relationship concerns.

Choosing a therapist can be difficult. You want someone you can trust and who has the experience to help with your needs. I am qualified to treat most conditions that cause people distress. Some areas of special interest include LGBTQ+, healthcare workers, anxiety (OCD, phobias, general anxiety), phobias, stress, work-life balance, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, boundary-setting, and developing assertiveness. I am a strong LGBTQAI+ ally and have experience and special training working with LGBTQAI+ couples and individuals. Hablo español y hago terápia en español.

You're here and that tells me something about you. You're ready to make a change. Maybe you're in a place in life, or in your relationship, where you are feeling burned out or you no longer feel connected. You've found yourself here and now you want to find someone who might be able to "get it". As a former first responder, I'm here to support YOU. Whether you're a professional experiencing burnout, a spouse feeling disconnected, or overcoming a major life event... you're ready to face those repeating patterns that you keep finding yourself in. If this sounds like you or your relationship, it's time to feel more fulfilled.

Sometimes life gets hard and we just want someone to listen and help guide us through in the healthiest and safest way possible. I am a psychotherapist who has done just that for many clients in the 15 plus years I have been in practice. My first priority is to help you feel safe and comfortable in working with me. I am an eclectic therapist that uses different techniques and modalities because I believe every client’s needs are individualized. I am a laid-back therapist that can bring humor into session when appropriate but I am also able to be direct in what I see and what I feel the best treatment needs are.

Would you like to transform your life issues into growth and have a deeper connection to your body, health and purpose? I listen with compassion, offer insight, and support you in finding practical solutions for your life issues: depression, anxiety, anger, relationship problems or something else. Over time I will expose you to body-based methods for physical and emotional renewal. Our work might include mindfulness, breath, movement or other body based techniques, which increases self-awareness and empowerment. Finding an understanding of these changes in the context of spirituality is supported if you find this useful.

I create a culturally safe environment by offering person-centered therapy. Being a dual-credentialed counselor allows me to support and develop a trusting collaborative approach with all my clients’ Mental Health and/or Substance Use, which in turn prompts overall healthy well-being. I utilize multiple therapies, Acceptance and Commitment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family Integrated Transitions, Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and Multisystemic Therapy.

I enjoy working with clients who may feel something is missing in their life, they don’t feel satisfied with where they are at, may feel overwhelmed or stressed, or just can’t exactly pinpoint why they don’t feel they are at their best. Low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, conflict, significant life stressors and much more can easily deter us from our goals in life and it takes some work to get us back on track. I believe in self-empowerment and a more holistic approach to overall well-being. With a strong collaborative, strength based, and client-centered approach, I can help you begin the life you deserve.
