I struggled after my first daughter was born with extreme anxiety and panic attacks and it was recommended by my then primary care provider to pursue therapy through my EAP. I did for 10 sessions and I concluded that I was still grieving the death of my father after 10 years. It was a transformational discovery and that was when I knew I wanted to help someone overcome like I did.

My goal for clients is to leave therapy differently than when they come in. You will be challenged to think differently and encouraged to push on through difficult times. I listen, provide empathy, and try to uplift you when you're feeling the lowest. We're in this together. It is your narrative and experience and it is indeed a gift if you allow me into your world. I will take this gift seriously and walk with you while you reach your breakthroughs.

I believe being uninsured, underinsured, or unable to pay for co-pays with insurance is a huge barrier that I see often. Cost-effective therapy services are difficult to find and that is why I choose to provide lower-cost, but high-quality therapy services without having to succumb to the red-tape that sometimes comes with filing claims through insurance.

I have had the privilege of working with at-risk families and youth, young adults, couples, and individuals for the past 7 years. I specialize in trauma-informed care and recovery and have assisted Veterans, active-duty military, couples, and individuals in navigating the aftermath of trauma exposure at various ages and stages of life. I enjoy teaching mindfulness exercises and implementing a holistic view into treatment for the healing of mind, body, and soul.
