Who Am I?
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist dedicated to helping people navigate trauma, substance use, anxiety, and emotional pain. My path into this work is shaped not only by my education and clinical training, but also by personal experience. Growing up in a family impacted by addiction and trauma—and later walking through my own recovery—gave me a deep understanding of the courage, grief, and resilience that accompany healing.
I believe therapy should be a place where authenticity is welcomed and vulnerability is met with care, not judgment. Clinically, I specialize in treating PTSD, complex trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety disorders, and OCD. Along with advanced training in EMDR and attachment-focused EMDR, I’m trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for anxiety and OCD. These approaches allow me to help clients move beyond symptom management into meaningful, lasting change. My background includes working in outpatient and residential programs and serving as Clinical Director of a PHP/IOP, where I built trauma-informed systems of care and supported developing clinicians.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a mother, partner, and dog-mom. I find balance through time outdoors with my family, live music, movement, and connecting with loved ones—nurturing the same joy and presence I encourage in my clients.
