Great to meet you!

After serving in the Army as a medic, I decided to get my Masters of Social Work to help couples and individuals navigate the stressors in their lives and empower them to meet their challenges. I have been working in mental health for over 5 years. I specialize in anxiety, PTSD, military issues and couples counseling. I also work with inter-abled couples & help them reconnect after the trauma of injury & navigate complicated dynamics.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to create a welcoming and non-judgmental space so that you can begin to heal. My style is direct & empathetic. I use a mix of approaches such as CBT, Solution-Focused, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic. I will collaborate with you to find an approach that best fits your goals.

What you can expect from me

In therapy, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. I hope to support you in gaining insights into your challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal growth. Therapy helps you heal, gain self-awareness, and navigate life's difficulties.
