Our Team

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Clinical Supervisor

I help people achieve personal growth, build healthier relationships, and heal from past trauma. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, we'll work together to help you move toward the life you deserve. I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and create a life filled with connection, purpose, and joy.

My passion for this work comes from both personal and professional experience. Growing up with divorced parents and navigating my own experiences with trauma gave me a deep appreciation for resilience and the healing process. I always knew I wanted to become a social worker, following in the footsteps of both of my grandmothers. Throughout my career, I've worked in schools, corrections, healthcare, and foster care. These experiences have given me insight into the unique challenges people face at every stage of life. I also hold a certification in sex therapy.

As your therapist, I'll be both your guide and your sounding board. I am kind-hearted, direct, and down-to-earth, and I believe therapy should be your space, a place where you feel comfortable being yourself and focusing on what matters most to you. I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches while tailoring each session to your individual needs, providing practical tools and support to help you create meaningful, lasting change.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy traveling, especially anywhere with a beach, creating things, and spending time with my family and pets.

Clinical Social Work Intern

Whether you're navigating personal mental health concerns, family dynamics, or adjusting to a new chapter in life, I am here to walk alongside you with understanding, patience, and professional insight.

My therapy approach is warm and empathetic. I am dedicated to supporting individuals on their mental health journey, and I strive to help others feel comfortable and heard. I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, and I work collaboratively with clients to recognize their strengths and developing concrete strategies to overcome difficulties. 

With a background in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I have extensive experience working with individuals who have severe mental health challenges, as well as children and families involved in foster care. This experience helps me to promote lasting, positive change in often difficult circumstances. 

Clinical Professional Counseling Intern

I support clients in building resilience and finding balance through life’s challenges. As a student therapist, I provide a safe, compassionate space for healing, reflection, and personal growth. I work with individuals, couples, and families, offering support that is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect.

My background includes years of experience in mental health programs, where I supported people facing a range of emotional, relational, and life transitions. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I take a holistic, collaborative approach that honors each client’s unique strengths and values.

Whether you're navigating relationship struggles, processing past experiences, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to walk alongside you. I believe that healing happens when we feel seen and safe. My goal is to help you create lasting, meaningful change.

Clinical Social Work Intern

I am drawn to working with people who have experienced adversity, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and significant changes in their lives. I believe our experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world, but they do not have to define who we are or who we can become.

I have spent many years working in behavioral health and have worked with children,

adolescents, and adults from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. I am also a United States Navy veteran, which contributed to my appreciation for resilience, service, and the different ways people adapt to difficult circumstances.

My approach to therapy is conversational, collaborative, compassionate, and direct. I draw from cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approaches while adapting therapy to the individual. I enjoy helping people better understand themselves, recognize patterns that may be holding them back, and discover their strengths and ability to create meaningful change.

Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, reading, meditation, and spending time with my family.

Clinical Social Work Intern

As part of a blended military family, I have a personal understanding of the transitions that come with it. I enjoy working with veterans and military families, as well as individuals experiencing trauma, addiction, or major life changes.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the casino industry, hospitality, and marketing. That experience gave me insight into the ways people seek connection, cope with burnout, manage stress, and live their lives around unconventional schedules. It also contributed to my interest in helping people examine behaviors that may no longer be serving them, including gambling and substance use.

I also work with children and young adults, particularly tweens, college-aged, and postgraduate clients. I value supporting young adults as they navigate emerging adulthood, including career development, relationship building, and parenthood.

My approach is conversational, genuine, and strengths-based. I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative relationship, not an interview, and I take time to get to know each person before moving into more difficult areas. I use motivational interviewing to help clients recognize their existing strengths, identify what matters to them, and make changes at a pace that feels manageable.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, camping, traveling, road trips, and exploring my own whimsical, neurospicy hobbies. Spending time outdoors is an important part of how I recharge and stay connected to what matters to me.

Marriage and Family Student Therapist 

Curiosity and lifelong learning have always guided both my personal life and my work. Whether I'm exploring photography, woodworking, discovering a new book, or searching for my next adventure, I'm continually drawn to experiences that deepen understanding and connection.

Before becoming a therapist, I served in the federal government, worked with women and children affected by domestic violence, supported children in foster care, and taught as an Interventionist teacher in CCSD schools. Across each role, one thread remained constant: a desire to serve others in meaningful ways. Becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist felt like a natural extension of that purpose, and I bring my life, work, and educational experiences into the therapy room as resources to support my clients.

Within the therapeutic relationship, I'm drawn to the moments when something inside begins to shift. A feeling finally comes forward, a thought softens, or a truth that has been quiet for too long begins to emerge. I believe meaningful change starts with feeling truly seen and understood. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, and I enjoy supporting individuals experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, as well as young adults and couples.

I offer a calm, reflective space where we can slow down together, listen to what your experiences are asking of you, and discover new ways of moving forward with greater clarity, self-compassion, and intention. Together, we'll make room for insight, healing, and growth to unfold naturally.
