Therapy is often framed as a place to endlessly analyze the past. While your history matters, insight alone doesn’t change your Tuesday morning.

Whether you are seven or forty-seven, life requires a functional dashboard of real-world skills. When our nervous systems get overwhelmed, we don't need more theory—we need practical, adaptive tools to regulate our emotions, build healthy relationships, and protect our peace.

My path to this work wasn't a straight line. Before becoming a psychotherapist (LCSW), I spent over 15 years in the corporate finance world, managing high-stakes environments and sitting in the C-suite. But after years of focusing purely on numbers, I felt drawn to a more people-centered path. That corporate background gave me a sharp, strategic lens on stress, performance, and burnout, while my clinical training gave me the tools to help people genuinely heal.

My clinical journey began in an adolescent residential psychiatric center doing intensive crisis intervention, which taught me firsthand how profoundly our relationships shape shape our experience. In my private practice today, I ground my work in evidence-based modalities that respect the mind-body connection, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal-informed work (Safe and Connected), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT).

When I’m not in sessions, you’ll usually find me outside or connecting with my community. Whether I'm camping, exploring new landscapes, or simply connecting with nature, the great outdoors is where I find my own grounding. I believe deeply in the mind-body connection, and these personal pursuits fuel my commitment to continuous growth—both for myself and for the clients I walk alongside.
