LMFT/Founder

I utilize a holistic approach to treatment (bringing together the mind, body, and spirit) when working with my clients. Integrating western and eastern philosophies to treatment (if and when appropriate), I will prioritize educating you about your diagnosis and collaborate with you to create a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs and goals.

With over 21+ years experience working in the mental health field both in private practice and community based organizations, I have extensive experience treating: Depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, grief and loss, life transitions, chronic pain, autoimmune disease, and addiction issues. I am trained in: CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, EMDR, mindful based treatments, and I am a certified Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP) and provide affordable KAP in-person and via tele-health.

I have a warm, grounded, and authentic therapeutic style utilizing curiosity, compassion, and humor. In my practice, I encourage healing from a holistic perspective.

I am not currently taking new clients at this time. However, please know that I take your care and treatment very seriously. I provide direct supervision to my team on a daily and weekly basis. I personally hand pick our therapists based on skill level. Please know that I will personally oversee your care. It is important to me that you get access to care as quickly as possible which is why I am expanding my team so we all can be here to support you today! My highly skilled clinical administrators will assist you with placement based on your needs.
