Clients should know that I believe therapy works best when it is built on trust, honesty, and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported while we work together toward meaningful change. As a counselor and Navy veteran, I value integrity, perseverance, and service to others. I also respect the role that personal values and faith can play in someone’s life and am comfortable incorporating those perspectives into counseling when it is important to the client.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each client’s unique situation. I draw from evidence-based counseling methods while focusing on helping clients understand patterns, build resilience, and develop tools for navigating life’s challenges. I believe therapy should not only provide a place to process difficult experiences but also equip clients with skills that support lasting growth. Together, we work to identify goals and move toward healthier thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.

The first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what has brought you to counseling. We will talk about your current concerns, background, and what you hope to gain from therapy. My goal is to create a relaxed and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. By the end of the session, we will typically begin identifying goals and discussing how we can work together to help you move forward.
