I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and am currently working toward full licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). I am EMDR-trained and actively working toward full EMDR certification as I continue to deepen my clinical skills.

I have a passion for supporting individuals—especially women and veterans—who are navigating mental health challenges, substance use, and the lasting impact of trauma. My background includes grief counseling and hospice social work, where I had the honor of walking alongside individuals and families during some of life’s most vulnerable moments. That experience continues to shape how I show up for my clients today.

I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. My approach is compassionate, flexible, and grounded in meeting people exactly where they are. I am committed to creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported as they move through their healing journey—especially those who have experienced trauma.

I also value continued growth, both personally and professionally. I am always learning, expanding my skills, and seeking new ways to better serve the individuals I work with. In addition to EMDR, I am exploring ways to integrate mind-body approaches into treatment, including therapeutic yoga, to support healing on multiple levels.

I believe that no one has to walk through their healing alone—I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.
