About

Get to know me

I started out working in residential treatment facilities with sexually maladaptive youth, but after graduation I transitioned into the field of drug and alcohol counseling. I expanded my horizons and accepted a role working with transition age foster youth. I developed a passion for proactive mental health treatment and decided to transition into family based therapy where I visited families in the community to make care more accessible. I was promoted to a supervisory role in a school based treatment program (CSBBH). After gaining experience, I moved onto working in a group private practice. In 2025, I decided to jump out on my own and create a practice that was in alignment with all of my passions and methods, which brings us to today :) With my history in mental health, I have gained an unexpected skill of creating a space where even those resistant to therapy develop a sense of comfort and motivation. I believe in a holistic approach that views a person as a whole, not that their mental health is a separate part of their life. I am happy to discuss any of my approaches that are listed below.
