I’m so glad you’re here. For over 20 years, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through their most pivotal and challenging transitions. My experience is rooted in the trenches of human resilience, from helping teens aging out of foster care navigate their futures,  teaching special education and providing psychoeducation in an adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit to community mental health and now private practice. 

Every chapter of my professional life has been defined by a single goal: getting to know the person behind the struggle and helping them uncover the strengths they already carry within.

Eventually, I realized that support alone wasn’t enough for true transformation. I went back for a second Master’s degree because I wanted to offer more than just concepts and coping strategies; I wanted to facilitate the deeper inner work required to heal both the mind and the body.

You can have all the insight in the world and still feel your nervous system reacting as if the danger never left.  My mission is to help you bridge that gap. I specialize in navigating the heavy, unspoken layers of generational trauma and the complex grief of living losses, the endings, transitions, and identity shifts that society often expects you to just power through.

I bring a blend of compassion and clarity to our sessions, challenging you gently yet directly with deep empathy. Together, we’ll work toward a place where you can hold onto your story without the pain holding onto you, allowing you to finally live with true internal freedom.
