About
Seeking help can be vulnerable, and I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported, respected, and empowered to recognize your strengths, grow, and thrive through a collaborative therapeutic partnership.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience helping individuals build confidence, strengthen resilience, and navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in creating authentic therapeutic connections and supporting clients in recognizing their strengths to foster meaningful growth and lasting change.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington. My approach is collaborative and strength-based, focused on meeting clients where they are and creating a safe, comfortable space for open communication. I believe in working together to develop goals that evolve as your needs change.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I will partner with you to create a supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward with confidence. I encourage you to reach out when you are ready to begin.

As a nursing professional working in the health care field since 2007, I understand the importance of mental health and wellness and how it affects every person, directly or indirectly, at some point in their lives.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 8 years of experience in the nursing profession. I specialize in outpatient mental health care for adults and have worked across medical-surgical, home health, cardiology, and psychiatric settings. I am passionate about increasing access to mental health care, particularly for individuals facing barriers to services, and supporting overall mental wellness.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice with a psychiatric mental health focus from Idaho State University. My approach is holistic and patient-centered, integrating medication management with psychotherapy, lifestyle support, and wellness strategies to promote balanced mental health outcomes.
I strive to create a supportive and collaborative space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered in your care. Together, we will focus on your goals, strengths, and overall well-being. I would be honored to partner with you on your mental health journey and invite you to schedule an appointment when ready.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
