I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as your true self. My goal is to create a space where you can show up honestly, feel heard, and begin making meaningful changes at your own pace.
As a single mom of three, I understand the real-life challenges of balancing responsibilities, navigating stress, and continuing to show up each day. I bring that perspective into my work, valuing authenticity, resilience, and meeting clients exactly where they are.
I specialize in working with substance use, LGBTQ+ concerns, criminogenic behavior, couples counseling, and teen mental health. I also have experience supporting individuals navigating chronic pain, divorce, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and personality disorders.
My approach to therapy is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you make real progress. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help you build skills, increase insight, and move toward your goals. I am currently expanding my training in EMDR and plan to pursue certification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Outside of work, I enjoy camping and off-roading, watching funny movies, reading, playing video games, and spending time with my therapy-dog-in-training, Jazzy.
