Growing up in a culture where mental health was often stigmatized, I saw how difficult it could be for people to openly talk about their struggles or ask for support. Those experiences shaped my passion for therapy and inspired me to help create a space where people feel comfortable, supported, and understood without fear of judgment.
In my work, I’ve had the opportunity to support individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating a range of life challenges. These experiences have strengthened my belief in meeting each person with empathy, patience, and respect for where they are in their journey, while helping them build on their strengths and move toward meaningful change.

My clinical areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, marital issues, codependency, self-esteem, women’s issues, substance abuse, harm reduction, grief, LGBTQIA+ concerns, Veterans, first responders, correctional officers, law enforcement, and transitional concerns. As an Army Veteran myself, I have a personal understanding of the unique experiences, challenges, and transitions that can come with military service and working in high-stress professions. I value the opportunity to support Veterans, first responders, correctional officers, police officers, and their families. Through evidence-based approaches, I aim to tailor my treatment approach to the specific needs of each individual. I believe in helping individuals build on their strengths, gain insight, and develop effective coping skills for everyday life.
Sharing the same passion for helping others and fighting against the stigma of mental health, my focus is to improve lives, facilitate emotional regulation, and support the overall wellness of my clients. Through life’s complexities, I have come to understand that no matter the struggle life presents us, there is always a silver lining.

It has been a privilege to walk along side others managing more complex psychological issues and trauma or just helping them talk things out. I am currently offering telehealth services to adolescents (ages 11 and up) and adults. I also work with couples, parents, and families.
My doctoral training and experience in the field for over 20 years allow me to work with a wide range of issues. I have worked in different capacities and settings including as an adjunct professor, supervisor of therapy/ testing, and a psychotherapist in hospitals, universities, and a military behavioral health clinic. I have extensive experience treating depression and anxiety, grief/ loss, relationship concerns, trauma, OCD, chronic health issues, infertility, adjustment/ self-esteem problems in children/ adults, substance use issues, and personal growth.
My goal is to blend evidence based treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and meditation with a warm, caring style. I like to take a holistic approach focusing all aspects of psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I offer culturally competent therapy- welcoming anyone regardless of sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion. Together we can identify innate strengths and build coping skills to foster long-term wellness and resilience.
