Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health concerns, I am here to offer support through comprehensive assessments, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing care to guide you toward healing and well-being.

My approach combines evidence-based treatments with a holistic perspective to address your mental, emotional, and psychological needs. I believe in working collaboratively with you to empower you to regain control of your mental health and live a fulfilling life.
As a mother, wife, and passionate advocate for mental health, I understand how challenging it can be to juggle the demands of life while prioritizing your well-being. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring nature, and practicing mindfulness. I also have a special connection to animals, and I’m currently training my mini Aussie doodle, Hazel, to be an emotional support animal and therapy dog. This personal experience helps me connect with clients who may benefit from the therapeutic power of animals in their healing process.
If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, I invite you to reach out. Let’s work together to create a plan for your mental wellness journey.
