Great to meet you!

Many of the struggles that bring us to therapy—anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, self-doubt, or feeling stuck—have deeper roots than we realize. Sometimes these patterns develop through painful experiences, major life transitions, or family systems that taught us to prioritize others, question ourselves, or adapt in ways that no longer serve us. Therapy offers the opportunity to understand these patterns and create lasting change.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the spouse of a retired Army Veteran, I've spent much of my adult life living in different parts of the country and world, continually building community and connection wherever life led. Those experiences deepened my understanding of resilience, belonging, and the many ways people adapt through change, loss, and transition. I bring that perspective into my work, creating a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space where individuals, couples, and families feel genuinely seen and understood.

Together, we'll work to understand the deeper patterns shaping your life, strengthen your relationships, and help you move toward a more authentic, fulfilling way of living.

My approach to therapy

My work integrates attachment-based, depth-oriented psychotherapy, psychodynamic therapy with evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed interventions, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I also provide Ketamine Assisted Therapy through my partnership with Journey Clinical. As a Certified Psychedelic Facilitator, I also provide psychedelic preparation and integration therapy for individuals pursuing legally available psychedelic treatments. I tailor therapy to your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I believe lasting healing comes from more than managing symptoms. By developing insight, strengthening emotional awareness, and building practical skills, you can move beyond survival and begin responding to life with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, improve your relationships, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance to understand not only what brings you to therapy, but the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We'll explore your current concerns, personal history, relationships, and goals while building a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether you're seeking help for anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, or relationship challenges, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of where these patterns come from and how meaningful change can begin.
