About
Having lived experience with trauma, loss, and complex family relationships—including being a forever mother and part of a military family—I know what it’s like when life reshapes you and understand the courage it takes to rebuild and heal.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in supporting adults facing dual diagnoses, substance use, trauma-related concerns, and complex life stressors. Much of my work centers on individuals impacted by childhood trauma, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and work-related trauma.
I earned my master’s degree in community mental health from Southern New Hampshire University. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, focusing on the present moment and what you need most right now. I integrate trauma-informed care, emphasizing safety, stability, empowerment, and practical coping strategies that support lasting change.
Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted, often struggling with sleep, daily functioning, and relationships. You do not have to navigate this alone. Together, we can move at a pace that feels safe and manageable while building stability, healthier coping skills, and meaningful progress. When you are ready, I invite you to take the next step and schedule an appointment.

I help clients navigate life’s toughest transitions with clarity and resilience, drawing from my own journey of rebuilding after a life-changing accident and discovering the strength that grows through adversity.
I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 8 years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University. As an Air Force Veteran and former locomotive engineer who rebuilt after a life-changing occupational incident, I work with adults in high-stress, high-stakes careers — Veterans, first responders, transportation workers, and professionals navigating trauma, burnout, grief, or major life transitions, and seeking clarity, stability, and direction.
My approach is trauma-informed, direct, and practical. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based tools, and motivational interviewing to help clients process what they've carried, build effective coping strategies, and regain a sense of control. Expect a calm, collaborative space and steady forward movement at your pace.
Reaching out is often the hardest part. Whatever you're carrying right now, you don't have to figure it out alone. When you're ready, I'm here to help you move forward with clarity, steadiness, and a plan that fits your life. Take the next step when the timing is right for you.

As a therapist who has participated in therapy myself, I know how important it is to find a provider you connect with and feel truly seen by. I specialize in seeing the person in the room as a fully unique human being and in working with them to untangle the challenges they’re facing so they can grow into their fullest potential.
As a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 4 years of experience, I've worked in a variety of settings where I’ve helped people navigate a range of issues including trauma, anxiety, relational conflict, and depression. From an intensive outpatient program to a major medical hospital, I’ve sat with people on some of the worst days of their lives, accompanying them through immense grief and loss, chronic stress, vicarious trauma, and major life transitions. I work with preteens to older adults using a flexible, integrative approach that weaves together evidence-based practices with each client’s individual needs and preferences.
I earned my master’s in social work from the University of Tennessee. I use tools like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, but above all my priority is to show up as just another human in the room, navigating this hard, messy, beautiful life alongside my clients.
In our work together, I will sit with you in your pain, your confusion, your anger, or whatever you’re bringing into the space, and help you be with it, make sense of it, and ultimately, transform it. Therapy can be hard. Life is hard. And yet here you are, because you know there’s something better waiting for you. Let’s find out what it is.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
