Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate mental health therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, and self-confidence challenges. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, military service members, veterans, law enforcement professionals, and first responders, recognizing the unique experiences and stressors these populations face.

As a military veteran, I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to my work. Using evidence-based approaches including EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, authentic, and strengths-based, incorporating humor when appropriate to create a comfortable and supportive therapeutic environment where healing and growth can thrive.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported, without judgment.
