I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker, writer, and business owner with experience spanning emergency behavioral health, school-based mental health, healthcare systems, and private practice.

My career has never followed a perfectly straight path, and honestly, I'm grateful for that. Each role has given me the opportunity to meet people from different walks of life and support them through challenges that often feel overwhelming, uncertain, or isolating.

Whether I was helping someone through a mental health crisis in the emergency department, supporting a student struggling to stay afloat at school, or working with a therapy client navigating a major life transition, I found myself drawn to the same thing: helping people recognize their strengths and move forward through difficult seasons of life.

Today, I divide my time between clinical work, private practice, writing, and mental health education. I am passionate about making mental health information more accessible, encouraging honest conversations about grief and resilience, and helping bridge the gap between professional knowledge and real-life experience.

When I'm not working, you'll likely find me outdoors, planning my next camping trip, spending time with my dogs, or working on my latest writing project.
