Founder & Therapist at Elevate Therapy & Wellness Practice, PLLC

For nearly two decades, I have dedicated my life and career to helping others heal, grow, and rise above life’s challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)and mental health therapist with 18 years of experience in the social work and behavioral health field, my passion has always been rooted in creating safe, empowering spaces where women feel seen, supported, and emotionally restored.

At Elevate Therapy & Wellness Practice, my mission is deeply personal. I am especially passionate about helping high-functioning and high-achieving women who often carry the weight of everyone else while silently neglecting themselves. Many women have learned how to survive, perform, overextend, and “hold it all together” but not necessarily how to slow down, heal, set boundaries, and truly care for themselves without guilt. My goal is to help women move beyond survival mode and into a healthier, more aligned, emotionally grounded version of themselves.

Throughout my career, I have worked within community mental health, outpatient therapy settings, and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate complex life experiences, trauma, burnout, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-worth struggles, and major life transitions. My work has allowed me to not only provide therapy, but also advocate for emotional wellness within underserved communities and collaborate with community partners to improve access to care.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I utilize evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to support clients in building emotional resilience, increasing self-awareness, improving coping skills, and creating meaningful change in their lives.

In addition to providing therapy services, I am also available for:

• Speaking engagements

• Women’s empowerment workshops

• Self-care and burnout prevention workshops

• Mental health and wellness events

• Community collaborations

• Panel discussions

• Professional trainings

• Corporate wellness conversations

• School and community presentations

Whether I am providing therapy to an individual client, speaking to a room full of women, or collaborating within the community, my heart remains the same: to help people feel empowered, supported, and capable of healing.

I believe healing is possible. I believe women deserve spaces where they can exhale. And I believe that even after life’s hardest seasons, there is still room to Elevate.

Rise Above. Heal Within. Elevate Your Life.
