My Story
I knew I wanted to work with people from a young age. I have always enjoyed connecting with people and hearing their life stories. I also have experienced my own life challenges and participating in therapy was pivotal to my ability to process my experiences and to show up in my life. Prior to becoming a mental health therapist, I worked in home healthcare with individuals who have disabilities where I experienced impactful relationships with the individuals I worked with. Meaningful connection has always been a priority in my relationships with others. I enjoy seeing a person walk away lighter, freer, and excited to live their own personal journey after healing from wounds, disorders, and obstacles in their path.
Therapy for Depression
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self? You might be feeling depressed or deep despair.
Counseling for Trauma
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster. While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
Family-Based Counseling
Family-Based Therapy (FBT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on addressing and resolving psychological and emotional issues within the context of the family unit. It is widely used to treat various mental health and behavioral problems, and its effectiveness has made it a popular choice for families seeking help and support.
Child & Adolescent Therapy
At Mindfully Healing, we believe that every child and adolescent deserves a safe space to express themselves, explore their feelings, and develop the tools they need to thrive. Our dedicated team of licensed therapists is committed to providing compassionate and effective therapy tailored to the unique needs of each young individual. We understand that children and teens face a variety of challenges, from academic stress to emotional struggles. Our therapeutic approach is designed to foster a supportive environment where young clients can feel understood and empowered. Through a blend of play therapy, talk therapy, and family involvement, we aim to help children and adolescents navigate their experiences and emotions.

Professional Experience
Deciding to attend therapy is a courageous step in your journey toward personal change and healing, and I am honored to walk alongside you. When challenges arise in life, it is often difficult to live the way we would like to. It can feel like the challenges become the main part of the story; however, I place the importance of centering your inherent value, strengths, and goals front and center in our work together. You are so much more than the challenges you face, and I take a holistic approach in therapy. You are courageous, capable, resilient, and above all else, you are worthy of peace.
I offer therapy services to support individuals in the challenges that life throws at you, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, relationship conflict, and difficulty regulating emotions to name a few. I utilize a variety of approaches to therapy including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness.

Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, Mindfully Healing can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get relief from the anxiety that you deserve.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.

Services and Pricing
Why Private Pay is Beneficial for Some Clients?
- Insurance does not cover relational difficulties such as couples and family therapy, they require a DSM-V diagnosis for one of the members. As a fee-for-service provider, I do not have to give you a mental health diagnosis.
- Mental health diagnoses can follow you and be documented on health records and can result in affecting life insurance applications, health insurance applications and other benefits or services.
- Together, we can determine how many times we meet instead of the insurance company making that decision.
- Since a treatment plan, notes and billing information are not being released to an insurance company, a greater amount of confidentiality is in place for you.
