Great to meet you!

I have been in the behavioral health field as a BH technician and therapist for 15 years. I am an Army veteran and did my internship in Brooke Army Medical Center. I have been treating patients with anxiety, anger issue, relationship problems, depression, gender dysphoria, and PTSD.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your experience. I focus on creating a supportive and safe space where you can explore what you are feeling without judgment. Clinically, I specialize in helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, interpersonal challenges, and life transition.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a welcoming, low-pressure space where our main goal is to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. I may ask questions about your background, daily life, emotions, relationships, education level and any challenge you have been navigating.
