Adolescents, young adults, and individuals navigating major life transitions and mental health are my primary focus. I gained extensive experience treating high-acuity mental health and complex presentations at The Menninger Clinic and have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. I specialize in helping people find their footing during career shifts, parenthood, and identity evolutions, particularly when trauma, anxiety, or depression makes moving forward feel impossible.

My style is warm and compassionate, but I am also direct and intentional. I show up as a real person in the room and act as a partner in your growth. I use evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help you build a practical toolkit to overcome daily obstacles.

I am especially passionate about those healing from trauma. I believe healing starts with being genuinely seen and understood, moving you from a place of survival back into a life that feels fulfilling and authentic.

Outside of the therapy room, I am a parent and an avid book lover who finds joy in nature. I am particularly fascinated by jumping spiders; their curiosity and resilience are a constant reminder of the strength we can find in small things.
