I believe that everyone deserves to live a life where they feel safe, valued, and fulfilled. I utilize trauma-informed care principles to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can begin or continue their healing journey. My work is rooted in the belief that healing is possible, and that every person has inherent strengths they bring into the therapeutic process.
I specialize in trauma-informed care and have extensive experience working with individuals navigating a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use, severe mental illness, dissociative disorders, and couples counseling.
I am certified in EMDR, a highly effective approach for helping individuals process and heal from trauma. Whether you’re dealing with the effects of trauma, life transitions, or daily stressors, I provide a compassionate space to explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of working in several impactful settings. I’ve supported young adults in foster care as they transition to independent living, worked over a decade in the child welfare system, and served in a mobile crisis unit—partnering with law enforcement to respond to mental health emergencies. I also have extensive experience working with first responders, military service members, and veterans, supporting them through challenges such as secondary trauma, adjustment issues, and the impact of high-stress careers.
These roles have deepened my understanding of resilience and the unique challenges individuals face across different stages of life. My passion lies in supporting survivors of domestic violence and those affected by trauma—helping them reclaim their sense of safety and identity.
Healing is not a linear process, but with support and the right tools, it is possible. I’m here to walk beside you—whether you are navigating pain, seeking clarity, or looking to build a better connection with yourself and others.
