About
As a mother of 4 children, the youngest of which has Autism, I have personal experience to share and to learn with other parents.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in OCD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and related concerns, offering a supportive space to find relief and connection. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt), acceptance and commitment therapy (act), and mindfulness-based strategies. I focus on creating a compassionate, person-centered environment where you feel empowered, supported, and truly seen.
I have my Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University. I use approaches like exposure and response prevention, acceptance committment therapy, and mindfulness-based tools to support clients in finding strategies that fit their unique needs. My goal is to make therapy feel relatable and encouraging while promoting growth, balance, and well-being.
I’m passionate about guiding clients toward resilience, self-compassion, and confidence. I enjoy helping couples build stronger communication and intimacy while supporting individuals through personal challenges. Together, we’ll focus on creating a lighter, freer, and more authentic life—one that feels aligned with who you truly are.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 2 years of experience supporting individuals managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and autism spectrum disorder in individual and group settings, as well as 8 years in the behavioral health field.
