Hi there!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience in social services and behavioral health. My professional roots are in the field of developmental and intellectual disabilities, where I helped lead the integration of wraparound planning and positive behavior support. My focus has always been on engaging and empowering youth and families, and reducing the need for out‑of‑home placement. I am also a cofounder of Green Zone, a dynamic model of emotional support for individuals and caregivers.

​

I believe deeply in the inner capacity of all humans to grow and heal—mind, body, and spirit—no matter the trauma or challenges they’ve faced. Because we are inherently interconnected, I see healing as something that expands and strengthens through the support of others. In my work, I strive to hold a safe, grounded space where the therapeutic relationship becomes a catalyst for greater understanding and appreciation of self. Through this process, people begin to make meaningful changes and take courageous steps that reflect their values and wholeness.

​

I am endlessly fascinated by the human experience—how we express ourselves, how we make meaning, and how we adapt and build resilience in the face of adversity. My goal is always to support people in discovering their own path to a fulfilling life, one that honors their strengths, values, and beliefs.

​

My clinical specialties include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, disordered eating, and trauma. I offer mindfulness‑based, somatic, LGBTQ+ affirming, and exposure‑based therapies. My therapeutic approaches include ACT, DBT Skills Training, ERP for anxiety and OCD, Safe Exercise at Every Stage for eating disorder recovery, and Emotional Freedom Techniques for anxiety, depression, and trauma.
