I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have been a nurse for over 20 years and the majority of my background comes from working in public health and child protective services. I am passionate about providing care that is both clinically effective and deeply human. My work is rooted in an evidence based approach, which means I rely on proven treatments, research and best practices to guide care.
Like many of my clients, I struggled a lot and felt like life was harder then it should be. Having done the work of therapy myself, I am now a licensed professional counselor. Before entering private practice, I spent thousands of hours in various different practices working with clients that struggled with depression, and anxiety. I enjoy working with men, women and young adults (18-45). I've found that undiagnosed neurodiverse clients and folks with traumatic family backgrounds are frequently attracted to me and so I've been putting more emphasis on study and research in these areas.
Although my degree is in Mental Health Counseling, my treatment method is psychoanalysis. This means that each treatment is developed and conducted for the client in question, their specific issues and inquiries they have about their own symptom.
Psychoanalysis emphasizes on guiding individuals in finding their own resources, gaining a knowledge about what is happing to them and the cause of their distress.
I am the owner of a solo- private practice where I provide Individual and Couples counseling specializing in Teens/College age clients, Sex therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy( hypnosis) and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

Addressing life difficulties can be overwhelming, stressful and isolating. It takes a lot of courage to overcome your obstacles, but doing it alone may not be enough. I believe that building a strong connection is the most important thing in beginning to help you. It is important that you feel safe, understood and valued. I offer compassion, creative thinking and humor to help clients work towards their goals.
My approach is rooted in trust, empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. I believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive relationship where you feel seen and understood. I strive to create an environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, without judgment. I have had experience working with all ages- spanning from private practice, community mental health, school social work / school based therapy, and residential treatment centers. While I love working with children and adolescents, I also provide space for adults and parents.
Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and empowering. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build helpful coping tools, and move toward the life you want.
I believe it takes immense courage to open yourself up to the process of therapy - to go against the taboo and actually talk about yourself, your pain, and your shame. I will be your supportive guide through this process, helping you use what you learn to change the patterns that hold you back and close the gap between who you are and who you want to be.
About me: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and received my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University.
