Life is full of surprising twists and turns, challenges and opportunities. Balancing life, work, relationships, and the unexpected can be both rewarding and daunting. As a therapist, I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, deepen your self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Whether you're looking to resolve interpersonal conflicts, heal from trauma, or seek greater balance in your life, I’m here to walk alongside you. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and centered on your emotional needs, helping you build the insight and resilience to thrive.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner and psychologist. My practice is focused on combining evidence-based psychiatry with precision medicine tools to deliver care that is rigorous, personalized, and informed by the latest clinical research.

I specialize in mood disorders — including depression and bipolar disorder- anxiety and OCD-spectrum conditions, and ADHD across the adult lifespan. I have particular experience with complex and treatment-resistant presentations, including when previous medication trials haven't worked as hoped. I take time to understand not just your symptoms, but the full picture of what's driving them.

I offer care in English and Spanish, and bring a cross-cultural perspective shaped by my own background and experience.

I have worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults as they work through life's challenges. I am client-centered with a trauma-informed lens, often leaving clients feeling heard, validated, and empowered to continue reaching their goals.

As someone who has worked as a clinician embedded in a law enforcement agency, I am acutely aware of the realities of first responders and the impact the work can have on the individual and their relationships.

We all have moments in our lives when we may feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or simply in need of extra support in reaching a balanced life. I am here to work with you on overcoming some of life’s biggest challenges. My experience has been with a focus on improving your overall quality of life. Collaboratively, I work with my clients to help them heal from the effects of trauma, work through grief and loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, parenting struggles or relationship issues. I also have experience in helping parents and children who are managing early childhood development or ADHD concerns.

I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and a psychotherapist, and in recent years, my practice has evolved to focus on the issues of females throughout the life cycle. I treat females ages 16-70 and male adolescents with anorexia nervosa.

’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR-trained trauma specialist with over 20 years of experience supporting and restoring families. I help individuals and couples—especially women—navigate trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges while working toward their personal goals. I provide therapy from a faith-based perspective, thoughtfully integrating Christian principles into the healing process.

Because of my past personal and professional experience, I typically work with people who are "finding themselves," which can occur at any age, especially after a big change or loss or life event. I specialize in grief, bereavement, sexuality, and spirituality, and often my clients have some sort of religious background or are artists/makers/creatives. I work really well with sensitive men, strong women, and people who feel stuck or misunderstood.
