I'm a mom of a teen daughter with level 3 non-verbal autism, and I myself am neurodivergent and on my own mental health journey. I have an autoimmune condition and experience with navigating the mental, physical and emotional toll this can take on oneself and one’s family. I am a proud part of the LGBTQ+ community and support all our unique differences that make us who we are!

I am trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, CPT, Grief Counseling, Anxiety, DBT and Mindfulness. I have experience working with those affected by childhood trauma, abuse, and sexual trauma. I also have experience with the foster-care system, single-parent households & blended families.

As a clinical supervisor and compassionate provider, I provide my wealth of experience, wisdom, and encouragement while collaborating with our clinicians to provide you the utmost level of care.

You are a person first and a client second. I aim to break the stigma and offer clients a safe place to verbalize their needs and receive support in a non-judgmental environment. You drive your care, and I am here to assist you.
