Looking for support is a big step, and it's okay to ask for help. My areas of focus have been depression, anxiety, substance abuse, anger management, and victims/perpetrators of domestic violence. I have degrees in rehabilitation counseling and cultural anthropology, but some of my best lessons have been my own life experiences. Life has taught me to be human first, clinician second. Past professional settings have included outpatient clinics, behavioral hospitals and the local MHA.

I specialize in working with victims of domestic violence, depression, and anxiety.
Do you ever wonder, when is it my turn to not be ok? Does anyone care? As women and mothers, our struggles can go unseen and unheard. Together we can work through finding a balance and giving your needs a voice. I always say a counseling session should feel like having coffee with a trustworthy friend that is also knowledgeable in mental health. In my practice, I focus on meeting you where you are and offering an empathetic judgement free environment for us to work together to create change.

I have experience with all populations including working directly with sex workers, persons with HIV/ AIDS, all persons affected by substance use, abuse, and addiction (including pregnant women and new mothers), and persons in the criminal justice system for offenses ranging from traffic citations and misdemeanors to capital and first degree felonies.
We, as human beings, are all on a path through life dealing with our own unique conflicts (be it interior or exterior) and struggles from our lives before this point. Everyday is a new chance to devote effort in ourselves with a goal to make ourselves better than the day before. We are all striving to be the absolute best version of ourselves we can be, even if your version looks different than the next person's. Even if you are unsure of your own matters of contention and unable to see the prospects of your future, I am dedicated to starting or continuing on this journey with you.
