Biography


I’ve been working in behavioral health, walking alongside patients as they work toward greater well-being. What drew me to the field of mental health is the chance to support people ... through meaningful, personal transformation. I’m especially passionate about working with grief, trauma, and PTSD—experiences that are often misunderstood or feel overwhelming. I truly believe healing is possible, even in the most painful moments, and I aim to create a space where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered to reclaim their stories.


Q/A:

What can clients expect in their first interaction with me?

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and direct. I use evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and problem-solving, along with expressive therapies, to support meaningful change. I aim to help individuals move from surviving to thriving by honoring their unique healing journey.

What’s my role in our work together?

I maintain a predictable rhythm, follow through on commitments, and respect boundaries. In our work together, I often use journaling prompts, mindfulness practices, and creative exercises that translate well online. These tools are also available directly to patients in MyBSWHealth outside of sessions, helping deepen engagement and offering meaningful ways to process emotions between visits.

What do I want clients to take away from working with me?

Therapy is more than talking about your feelings. Using coping skills, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution focused therapy and creative therapies, you can activate yourself to be better and live a life rich with possibilities.

What’s something I wish more people knew about therapy?

It doesn’t have to be scary. We’ll start with a simple assessment and talk through what you’re hoping to get out of the therapy. It’s a chance for us to get a general sense of your goals, and we’ll take it from there—step by step, together.

Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of healthcare services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: 1.877.810.0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.
