About

Feeling trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors that impact your life, career, or relationships? Eager to enhance your mental well-being and reach your full potential? Experiencing anxiety, depression, or communication difficulties? I understand how you feel, and I'm here to help you discover the tools that best suit your life, so you can get back on track and achieve your goals. The fact that you're reading this shows you're ready for change. My path to becoming a licensed clinical social worker was like a Choose Your Own Adventure book – full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and a whole lot of unexpected detours. But hey, isn’t that what makes life interesting? It all started with a rough childhood that left me with a lot of trauma, but also a deep well of empathy. Joining the Army helped me build my self-esteem and confidence, but it was working as an addiction therapist that really showed me my true calling. I worked to achieve a BS in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work and earned my LCSW following my schooling. From there, I worked with dementia clients and became a Certified Dementia Practitioner, engaged with families and couples and became trained in EMDR and a Family Centered Treatment Supervisor to break generational trauma and improve communication. And now, as a certified sex therapist, I’m helping couples tackle the thought of sex being "taboo" and normalize sex issues, preferences, and lifestyles. Life is a journey, and I’m just along for the ride! If you’re thinking about working with me, first of all, you should know that I truly believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives. I respect your knowledge, experiences, and opinions, and I’m here to support you in achieving your goals, whatever they may be. That being said, I’m not one to shy away from a challenge. If you ask me to push you outside your comfort zone, I’m more than happy to oblige.
