Like you, my life has been shaped by experiences that challenged me to question, grow, and discover who I truly am.

As a queer woman raised in both the military and the church, untangling who I am from who I was taught I should be has been a lifelong journey. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for how profoundly our environments, relationships, and life experiences shape us—and how healing it can be to understand ourselves with openness and grace instead of judgment.

Before becoming a therapist, I wore many hats. I worked in food service, managed a retail store, stayed home to raise my children, and later became a preschool teacher, instructional coach, and education specialist. Each role invited me into the lives of people whose experiences, challenges, and perspectives were very different from my own. I witnessed the effects of marginalization, discrimination, trauma, and systemic barriers, but I also witnessed extraordinary determination, hope, and resilience.

Over time, I discovered what I wanted to do with my own life. I realized I wanted to do more than encourage people—I wanted to walk with them as they made sense of their experiences, recognized their strengths, and created meaningful change in their lives. That calling ultimately led me to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

The lessons I’ve learned continue to shape the way I sit with people today. Every person carries a story worth understanding, and therapy is not about becoming someone else—it is about gently untangling who you truly are from who you learned you needed to be.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, questions of identity, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy offers a space where every part of you is welcome.

Works with Adults

My Professional Background

My clinical experience includes working in community mental health, providing crisis intervention for children and adolescents, and supporting adults with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, trauma, ADHD, severe and persistent mental illness, substance use, and complex interpersonal challenges.

I have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds and life circumstances, including individuals navigating serious mental illness, addiction, homelessness, involvement with the criminal justice system, and experiences of profound loss and trauma. These experiences have reinforced something I believe deeply:

People are not defined by a diagnosis or the most difficult chapter of their lives. That is just one part of their story.

Working with such a diverse range of people has strengthened my belief that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Each person’s story is unique, and therapy should honor that individuality.

A Little More About Me

Outside of my work as a therapist, I am a curious, creative, and reflective person. I find meaning in learning, creating, noticing small details, and spending time in nature. I am often drawn to the quiet wisdom of animals, trees, music, and the everyday moments that remind us we are part of something larger than ourselves.

I have always been interested in the stories people carry—how we become who we are, how we adapt, how we protect ourselves, and how we find our way back to what feels true. That curiosity shows up in my work, but it is also simply part of who I am.

I value honesty, warmth, humor, depth, and conversations that help people feel less alone. I do not believe therapy has to feel cold or clinical. It can be thoughtful, grounded, challenging, and deeply human all at once.

My hope is that when you sit with me, you feel met by someone who is clinically prepared and genuinely present—someone who sees you as a whole person, not a problem to solve.
