I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, therapist, wife, and mom of two humans--I also have two cats and a very spoiled dog. When I’m not working, I'm usually at the gym, reading, hiking, paddle boarding, or spending time with my family.

I became a therapist because I’ve always had an intuitive connection with people. I tend to feel things deeply and naturally pick up on what’s happening beneath the surface. I’ve always been drawn to truly understanding people—not just what they’re saying, but what they’re feeling, what they’re carrying, and what they may not yet have the words to express. I feel incredibly lucky to be invited into people’s lives during some of their hardest moments, and I don’t take that trust lightly.

My Approach

​

I don’t believe there is an end goal in therapy or a version of yourself that you need to become “fixed.” I see therapy as a process of discovering yourself more deeply—understanding your history, making sense of your emotions, recognizing your strengths, and becoming more intentional about the life you want to create.

​

Most of us develop ways of coping that made sense at some point in our lives—even if those same patterns aren’t serving us anymore. Your emotions have something to tell you, and learning to understand yourself and trust your own instincts is an important part of creating lasting change.

​

You are the expert in your own life. I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, see things from a different perspective, and figure out what comes next. I also don’t believe you should need therapy forever. My hope is that our work together helps you develop greater self-understanding, self-trust, and the tools to navigate life with confidence long after our work together ends.

​

Therapy is a place where you can be completely yourself. Together, we’ll discover your strengths, honor your hopes, and gently explore the experiences that have shaped you. We’ll work toward greater self-understanding, and self-trust as you move toward the person and the life that feel most true to you.

My Background

 

I’ve worked in mental health for more than a decade, with experience in individual and family therapy, medical social work, domestic violence advocacy, and trauma care. I spent seven years working in the Emergency Department and Trauma ICU, where I supported people and families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I’ve also worked with first responders, active-duty and retired military members, medical professionals, and their families. These experiences have shaped the way I practice and given me a deep appreciation for the ways that trauma, stress, relationships, illness, and major life changes can affect every part of a person’s life. I’m trained in EMDR and incorporate mindfulness, body awareness, CBT, ACT, ego-state therapy, guided meditations, and other approaches--there is truly no "one size fits all" for therapy.

What You Can Expect From Me

 

My style is warm, collaborative, and genuine. I've been told that I have a good sense of humor, and my clients often say they feel truly seen and cared for by me. I’ll meet you where you are, offer gentle challenges, and create safe space to say anything--without judgement. Therapy with me will never feel stiff or clinical. There’s room for laughter, uncertainty, curiosity, and tears. Most importantly, I want you to feel understood, seen, and worthy. My goal is for you to leave with a greater understanding of yourself, trust in your intuition, tools to cope with uncomfortable emotions and situations, and to feel confident in your life and yourself.

 

Let’s Connect

 

The most important part of therapy is finding a therapist who you feel safe and comfortable with. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.
