You might look like you're holding it all together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Maybe you're overthinking, struggling in relationships, or navigating a life transition that feels harder than expected.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience in both outpatient therapy and hospital-based crisis work, including emergency department settings. I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship stress, and life transitions, especially those who are used to being the “strong one” for others but are ready for space to slow down and feel supported.

My background includes working with a wide range of emotional and relational concerns, and I aim to create a space where you can step out of your day-to-day roles and focus on yourself in a way that feels grounded, supportive, and meaningful.

I've been in private practice for 20+ years. I treat teens and adults.I specialize in Marriage and Family concerns, addiction, eating disorders and Trauma/PTSD. I collaborate with clients on what will be useful to them to help clear what's getting in their way.

I’m a licensed mental health therapist who works with adults ages 18 and older, and I believe therapy should feel empowering, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. My approach is warm, open-minded, and nonjudgmental. I want you to feel safe being your full self in session, and I aim to meet you where you are while helping you grow in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Purdue University and my Master’s degree in Social Work from IUPUI, with a focus on addiction and mental health. My professional background includes two years in an outpatient mental health setting and one year working in residential treatment for substance use disorders. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how complex mental health and substance use can be—and how important it is to treat the whole person, not just symptoms.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I enjoy helping clients explore patterns, build coping skills, and reconnect with their strengths. My style is collaborative and flexible, and I like to be creative in sessions when it’s helpful—whether that’s through reflective exercises, visual tools, or thinking outside the box to help things “click.”

I have been on my own healing journey since childhood and have mastered a variety of therapies to support others on their own journeys. My specialized treatments include Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I grew up in Northern California and completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees

in Social Work at California State University, Chico. I am an Air Force Veteran and currently working on my doctorate.

My priority is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. With over 40 years in healthcare—including service as a former Navy Nurse Corps Officer and retired military veteran—I bring values of resilience, trust, and teamwork into every therapeutic relationship. I view care as a partnership and work to empower you to take an active role in your mental health.
