I draw inspiration from the profound words of Ann Voskamp, believing that “Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces.” With warmth and empathy, I create nurturing environments where individuals can freely share their stories without fear of judgment.

Rooted in a trauma-informed and strengths-based framework, my focus is on supporting adults through a range of challenges, including complex trauma, depression, anxiety, loss and grief, body image concerns, ADHD, stress management, and life adjustments. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I also bring expertise in working with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI), co-occurring disorders, and physical and developmental disabilities.

I hold a Master of Social Work degree from The College of St. Scholastica. I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), into my practice. I also embrace mindfulness techniques and welcome faith-based perspectives to enrich the therapeutic process.

My ultimate fulfillment lies in guiding clients through their unique journeys of healing and self-discovery, empowering them to recognize their inherent worth and value.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I find joy as a proud military wife and devoted “dog mom.” In my leisure time, I cherish quiet evenings with loved ones, relish fall hiking adventures, indulge in collecting heart-shaped rocks, and express my creativity through the lens of photography.
