About Us

I am committed to nurturing a warm, welcoming, and compassionate space where you can thrive—a sanctuary of empathy, understanding, and growth. Therapy is not just a process; it’s a profound journey to forge a new connection with yourself and your life, a place where your emotions are validated, and your lived experiences are embraced wholeheartedly. It is my ardent desire to ensure you feel truly seen and heard as we navigate the path toward transformation. Finding the right fit is crucial, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any inquiries. If possible, I would love to connect via email.

In my practice, I strive to cultivate an atmosphere that invites you to express your innermost thoughts and experiences. Together, we will delve into your unique experiences and illuminate fresh perspectives that awaken a renewed sense of hope and possibility within you. By building a robust toolkit of coping skills and fostering a deeper understanding of the journey that has led you to therapy, you will uncover a profound sense of empowerment to create the positive change you seek. I wholeheartedly believe in your innate ability to navigate life’s complexities and to extract meaning from the challenges that arise. Remember, "Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. The best is yet to come." — Zig Ziglar. Let us embark on this empowering journey together, as your brightest days lie ahead.

 With nearly three decades of rich, transformative experience, I have had the profound privilege of working with an incredibly diverse array of individuals in a multitude of settings. My journey has taken me through the heart of a county mental health center, the intense environment of an inpatient hospital, the compassion-driven space of a homeless shelter, and the nurturing atmosphere of a primary care clinic, where I have provided individual therapy. I am trained in the art of healing trauma, guiding others through the intricate process of navigating their sensations and emotions.

CURRENTLY TAKING NEW PATIENTS:
Life at times can be overwhelming and come with many challenges, having been in the social work field for 20-plus years, I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds who are experiencing a variety of difficulties. As a therapist, I incorporate a collaborative therapeutic approach that treats the whole person; mind, body, and spirit. I help clients reduce and resolve issues in a thoughtful, encouraging, and supportive way.

Since I was young, I’ve always been drawn to helping others and hearing their stories. I share a special connection with my clients while exploring their lived experiences. You can expect open, honest, and practical feedback in an understanding, reassuring, and adaptable environment. We will explore challenges, make positive change, and foster healing. I use an eclectic approach to person-centered/strengths-based therapy including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, and psychodynamic theory. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which is a helpful way to reprocess distressing situations, images, and events through a series of eye movements.  I also have advanced training in perinatal mood disorders and body image/eating disorders. 

My main areas of interest with enhanced expertise include women’s health and life transitions, healthcare provider mental health, perinatal/postpartum mental health, chronic disease/Type 1 diabetes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and grief and loss. 

Outside of my work, I enjoy time with my family and friends, walking my two dogs (Frankie and Apollo), going to comedy shows, reading, catching up on Netflix series and doing endless yard work.
