I know what it’s like to grow up in a home where emotional and physical needs were not met. In fact, it was those early experiences have forged my path to becoming a therapist and have shaped my deep commitment to providing trauma-informed, supportive and compassionate therapy for individuals who are healing from childhood adversity and complex family of origin dynamics. I understand how these early experiences contribute to longstanding patterns of self-doubt, self-criticism, emotional dysregulation and difficulty establishing and maintaining healthy relationships. These patterns often ripple into every area of life—friendships, romantic relationships, self-esteem, parenting, careers, and how we manage stress and navigate conflict. This can all seem very overwhelming and unmanageable, but with the right support, meaningful and lasting change is possible. I want to help you find that for yourself.

I bring over 15 years of diverse experience providing therapeutic support for teens, emerging adults and adults. Early in my career, I worked in adolescent outpatient therapy and in school and community-based mental health, supporting youth, parents and families navigating ADHD challenges, academic and peer relationship challenges, family conflict, anxiety, depression, trauma, developmental concerns, and limited access to resources.

My career experience then expanded into work with military members and their families—both overseas and stateside—supporting individuals and families through deployment-related stress, frequent relocations, relationship conflict, grief and loss, intimate partner violence, and many other stressors unique to military life. These experiences enabled me to develop skills that offer culturally responsive and highly attuned support for clients facing high-pressure environments and major life transitions.
