Meet The Team

i have engaged in counseling many times over the years as I dealt with the effects of childhood trauma, divorce, single parenting and life in general. Each time I gained a deeper understanding of how my life experiences shaped how I interact with the world.

I dropped what no longer served me came home to my authentic self—which includes the part of me devoted to supporting others.

​

Rooted in Internal Family Systems, we gently explore your vulnerable parts, as well as the parts created to protect them—illustrated well in the movie Inside Out. Using a sensorimotor approach, we explore how your past experiences continue to live in your body and be expressed in your behaviors today. Integrating DBT skills we begin to regulate your system.

I

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through both the challenges and joys that come with change.

​​

I believe that even the most exciting transitions can sometimes feel overwhelming and can bring on feelings of depression, anxiety, and  fear. Whether it’s a change in your family system, a new job, or simply the natural progression of life, these moments can stir up uncertainty and emotional strain. My goal is to provide a space where you can share your story openly, feel deeply understood, and discover new clarity and direction.

​

In addition to general counseling I specialize in intimacy and perinatal health  On a personal note, as part of a military family myself, I also bring personal understanding to my work with veterans and their loved ones. 

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. My experience spans a variety of settings, including community mental health, residential, and inpatient care. I bring compassion, understanding, and a positive supportive approach to my work, creating a safe and welcoming space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques to support emotional regulation, mindfulness, resilience, and
self-awareness.

My goal is to create a collaborative, judgement free environment where you can be
yourself, feel supported, and work towards meaningful growth.

​

I am a seasoned professional with many years of experience working with individuals, couples, and family dynamics.

​

Along with my Master’s education in Counseling
Psychology, I bring a life time of eclectic experiences with previous careers, personal transcending growth, and worldly travel. Most humbly, I am skilled in counseling those with depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship problems, multi-level trauma, grief and
loss, substance use, mood disorders, communication and intimacy challenges, anger management, problems related to internal and external stressors, career paths, life transitions: large and small, and increasing one’s self-worth: value and esteem.

Ultimately, the goal(s) are for the client to feel grounded, centered, and living an
intentional life. 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with five years of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, couples, and families. 

 

I utilize person-centered therapy by creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. As well as CBT by helping clients recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding. Solution-focused brief therapy helps clients focus on their strengths, goals, and practical solutions to make positive changes in their lives.

​

I’m also trained in Geek Therapy, an approach that brings the interests and passions you already enjoy—such as video games, comics, anime, movies, TV shows, books, tabletop RPGs, and other hobbies—into the therapeutic process. I believe the things we love can be meaningful ways to build connection, express ourselves, and better understand our experiences.

​

 I believe that every person’s story, experiences, and needs are unique. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to navigate it alone. 

I am a Registered, Board-Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals use creativity as a pathway to healing and growth. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of settings—including behavioral health agencies, community programs, schools, and both residential and outpatient environments.

​

My experience includes supporting individuals navigating substance use and developmental disorders, thought disorders, complex trauma, emotional disturbances, unresolved grief, and relationship challenges. I provide LBGtQ+

affiirming therapy.

​

​

Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. My first priority is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and accepted—just as you are.

​​

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based strategies, we’ll work together to understand and manage your thoughts and emotions. You’ll learn to notice and validate your inner experiences, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build healthier patterns that support a more balanced, positive outlook.

​

I specialize in working with teens and young adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress management, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also value the role of family and will include family counseling when it supports the healing process.

​

As a relational and solutions-oriented CBT therapist, I see therapy as a collaborative journey toward self-understanding, growth, and acceptance. Together, we explore the layers of who you are—your values, experiences, and the barriers that may be keeping you from living as your authentic self. Through warmth, compassion, and consistent support, I provide a space where you can move at your own pace and find deeper clarity and balance.

​
