Great to meet you!

I have more than 15 years of behavioral health experience. My background includes working with military service members, families, and adults navigating stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I'm approachable, direct, and practical. You can expect honest conversations, respect for your experiences, and support in making changes that fit your life. You don't have to have everything figured out before we begin.

What you can expect from me

Before we start, I offer a free 20-minute consultation, so no pressure. Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I'll ask about what you're facing, what you've tried, and what you want to change. You'll have room to ask questions and see if we're a good fit. I know you may not have caused your problems, but you have to solve them anyway. If you don't have the words to explain what’s going on right now, I can help with that too.
