Pursuing therapy is a powerful step toward achieving personal growth and insight, allowing you to address any social and emotional issues you struggle with. As your therapist, I want to accompany you on your journey and collaborate to find the root cause of any obstacles you face while also empowering you to become the healthiest version of yourself. I believe it is my role as your therapist to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore personal stressors. Operating from a Gestalt perspective, I do this by fostering self-awareness, authenticity, and accountability. Everyone is unique, so I tailor each session to your thoughts, experiences, and mental health goals. Reach out today to schedule a personal consultation to see if I am a good fit to help you achieve mental wellness.

As a trauma-informed therapist specializing in PTSD, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space for healing. I honor the courage it takes to step into therapy and engage in the inner work. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and uncertain—sometimes even questioning the direction of our lives. I understand how overwhelming and isolating that can be. My approach is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity, helping you gain clarity, reconnect with your values, and rediscover a sense of meaning in your life. With a blend of authenticity, life experience, and a sense of humor, I strive to create a welcoming and grounded environment where real change can occur. I focus on helping individuals reconnect with themselves, build emotional resilience, and find clarity and strength in who they are. I bring a culturally inclusive perspective to every session and tailor the therapeutic process to meet each client’s needs and goals. I’m honored and humbled to be part of this work, and I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey with compassion, insight, and wholehearted care. My training and experience include a Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health, over three decades of service in education as a principal and teacher, a Master’s and Bachelor’s in special education, certification as an Emotional Freedom Coach, and certification in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, as well as CAMS Certified (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality). There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~Albert Einstein

I have been in the field of social work for over 20 years and have experience in mental health, working with youth, adults, and families in various settings. I have a passion for helping others and am here to create a safe space as I support you through your journey. This journey is about you. Therefore, you will set the goals you want to achieve, and I can empower you with the tools to conquer them. In my free time, you will find me focusing on my own self-care while hiking, biking, running, or golfing.

I believe every individual has the capacity to define who they are and who they want to become, regardless of their past. My job is to help you reconnect, redefine, and re-imagine who you are by discovering what matters most to you. My primary goal as a counselor is to create a space for every individual to explore their lives and find opportunities to grow and create the change they want to see. I take a holistic approach to the counseling experience by exploring nutrition and physical activity with a unique therapeutic approach that combines CBT, Existentialism, Shadow Work, and Dream Analysis. My mission is to help you gain control over Stress and Anxiety, understand and transform past Trauma, navigate Life Transitions, and explore faith-based and spiritual concerns by re-establishing broken or lost connections with who you are, and what is most important to you.
