As a provider, I hope to create a safe and collaborative environment where we can work together to improve your overall quality of life.

Whether this is your first time seeing a behavioral health provider or your hundredth, I’m happy to meet you where you’re at.

I have experience treating all mental health diagnoses recognizing that we are treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis, and that all treatment plans need to be individualized and tailored to each person as no two clients are the exact same.

I am a dual certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner with decades of experience across inpatient psychiatric settings, community mental health, marginalized and homeless populations and varying ethnic, sexual and religious persuasions.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-MHSP, working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and life transitions.

I’m a therapist who genuinely enjoys working with people from all walks of life.

The focus of therapy is creating positive changes that will increase satisfaction with life, relationships, and self.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel significant, and I honor the courage it takes to seek support. I aim to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood, fostering an environment that is genuinely welcoming and comfortable and that radiates positive, accepting energy.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and relationship concerns, with a special passion for supporting LGBTQ+ clients and athletes.

“Knowing oneself comes from attending with compassionate curiosity to what is happening within.” – Gabor Mate. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you as you move toward your authentic self. This “waking up” process- the ability to feel deeply and genuinely express the feelings that make you authentic- is what brings people together in true relationships. Together, we can explore what experiences in your life may be keeping you stuck in the past, thus limiting your ability to experience present-day beauty and joy. My goal is to help you find the tools to honestly express your feelings so that you can feel the delight of being fully alive.

It is understandable to be overwhelmed by stressors stemming from family dynamics and interpersonal relationships, past traumas, finances, work and/or school, societal pressures, and worrying about the future. Many feel burdened and helpless concerning people and things out of one’s control. Anxiety and depression may result from these pressures.

I believe empathy, authenticity, and collaboration are essential parts of the therapeutic relationship. I come alongside my clients as they build the insight, self-compassion, and hope needed to grow.

I’m a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a part of the mental health field.

As your TMS Technician, I make your comfort and safety my top priorities. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone who comes into the TMS room.

I have always been very passionate about all health care, but I truly believe that your mental health is one of most important of them all.

I knew I wanted to work in the mental health field at age 13, when I was in an intensive outpatient program myself.

I have over four years of experience in behavioral health and I am currently receiving a master’s degree in Clinical and Mental Health counseling. I am dedicated to utilizing that experience and knowledge to provide the best possible care to those that I serve!
