Great to meet you!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, or major life changes, you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where we work together to find balance through thoughtful medication support and practical coping strategies. With over thirteen years of experience in mental health, critical care, and veteran‐focused care, I help adults navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and trauma, honoring each person’s unique journey toward wellness.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, trauma‐informed, and individualized. I combine expert medication management with coping skills and holistic strategies, taking time to understand your history, strengths, and goals. I work with you to build resilience, emotional balance, and a greater sense of control in daily life. I remain attentive to the social, cultural, and environmental factors that shape mental health, ensuring you feel respected, validated, and understood.

What you can expect from me

Your first session will focus on understanding what brought you here, exploring your current symptoms, past experiences, and treatment goals together. I explain each step of the process, answer your questions, and help you feel empowered and informed about your care. Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. I know that seeking help takes courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater balance, well‐being, and emotional wellness. When you’re ready, book an appointment through the Headway link.
