Therapy invites room for reflection, healing, and personal growth. Creating a warm and steady space allows clients to explore their thoughts and emotions at a comfortable pace. My style balances honesty with compassion, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Person-Centered work. Trauma-informed care and psychoeducation are woven in to support clients in developing insight and meaningful change. More than two decades in school counseling and additional clinical experience have shaped my work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families from varied cultural and neurodivergent backgrounds. I often support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. When working with couples, Gottman-informed strategies guide communication, emotional awareness, and stronger relational foundations. “You do not just wake up and become the butterfly - growth is a process.” ― Rupi Kaur

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in relationship issues, stress management, anxiety and life transitions for the adult population. As a therapist with over ten years of experience, my work has allowed me to treat both children and adults. I understand that trust takes time to develop. Regardless of the population, my therapeutic approach aids in navigating potential challenges that arise throughout the lifespan. Life can be overwhelming at any age, and having a trustworthy, neutral person to confide in is ideal. In my experience, I have come to learn that individuals want someone that will listen to them without judgement, which is what I provide. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal and Humanistic Therapy. My approach is non-judgmental, person-centered and collaborative. I am a strong believer that a person's mental health is as equally important as their physical health. Working together, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment. I utilize CBT, Humanistic and Interpersonal Therapy, to help clients develop skills that, with consistent application, improve their ability to manage the issues they present with. My style is creating a working alliance , and I modify my approach to each individual's unique goals. My journey to becoming a therapist began with being labeled 'the voice of reason' by friends. I would ask if they wanted someone to vent to, or were they seeking advice. When giving advice, I would take a neutral standpoint of seeing the entire picture, because there can be different perspectives in situations. My neutrality would take precedence, regardless of my personal relationship with the friend. This has deepened my commitment to providing an unbiased perspective to client sessions. I believe in individualization and client self-determination. People come from diverse backgrounds and have a multitude of life experiences, so acknowledging that diversity positively impacts the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship I strive to build. I have interests in music, various forms of exercise, arts and crafts, cooking and collecting.

Navigating mental health challenges can feel overwhelming, especially in a world that often misunderstands or overlooks the struggles of individuals with conditions like bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), ADHD, anxiety, and depression. My practice focuses on helping you build skills, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-worth so you can thrive. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to care.

My experience includes working closely with individuals in their everyday environments and gaining insight into their real-world struggles and achievements. This perspective has shaped how I approach care by focusing on realistic, sustainable changes that make a genuine difference in your life.

Sometimes, you just feel off. Maybe you're coming home from class every day drained, going through a breakup and unsure of what you want next, or dreading whatever tomorrow might bring. Whatever it is, you just don’t feel like yourself – or maybe, you're still trying to figure out who that even is. If that feels like you, know that you're not alone. I work with students who are ready to connect with themselves and find alignment, purpose, and fulfillment. My goal is to help you build a life that actually feels like yours, not anyone else's. In our work together, we’ll look at what’s going on beneath the surface, develop tools to express what you need, and create space for healing and growth. I aim to make our sessions feel safe, supportive, and real. For me, that means showing up with honesty, curiosity, and a little humor, too. School can create a lot of pressure to have it all figured out. In our work, none of that matters. You get to show up as you are, explore what matters to you, and go at your own pace. I am honored to walk alongside you as we work to build self-trust, deepen self-compassion, and make meaningful changes. If you're ready to start that work together, I’d love to hear from you!
