Life is a journey. Sometimes you get to walk along an easy trail with nice views. Sometimes you have to climb hills that go on forever. And sometimes you run into switchbacks and you feel like you aren't going anywhere. I am here to help you start your new adventure towards wellness and living a whole hearted life. I have been a mental health therapist since 2013, walking with my clients to help them face their challenges and overcome them.

I enjoy working with adults, children, and military families providing treatment to address depression, anxiety, stress, anger issues, women's issues, and relationship problems. I have specialized training and interest working with trauma, military, and children.

I have worked in social work for 9 years. During that time, I have worked with individuals experiencing PTSD and trauma. I have assisted with safety plans and have been an advocate for children in a shelter. I have run a program for at risk youth in the community and assisted with classes for youth to process emotions and focus on mindfulness and self-esteem. I have been able to assist individuals with issues with addiction, crisis support, and anger management. I work to provide supportive care using a strengths-based approach and other evidence-based approaches to treatment.

In my spare time I enjoy being with my family in the outdoors, hiking, or camping. A good book, usually of the fantasy genre, is always by my side.

I truly believe that every single person has the opportunity to wake up one morning and decide that today is the day to make a change. Therapy can be a space to reassess and reconnect with your true self. I see therapy as a collaborative journey. You are the expert on you, and my role is to walk with you helping you discover your strengths, build resilience, and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I blend compassion with real-world understanding (and a little humor), supporting clients as they develop healthier coping skills and move toward greater empowerment.

I have spent more than 15 years in social work, with the last six years focusing on clinical practice. I work with clients facing challenges such as out-of-control sexual behaviors, substance use, anger, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth space where you can be honest, curious, and even a little messy as you explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and move toward meaningful change in your life.
