Great to meet you!

As a veteran, I am passionate about helping overwhelmed individuals and fellow service members navigate trauma, anxiety, and the stressors of daily life. I combine a listening-first approach with structured therapies like CPT and CBT to help you process your experiences and reclaim a sense of peace and purpose.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is a partnership that starts with warm, exploratory listening to ensure you feel truly heard and understood. From there, we blend that insight with structured, evidence-based tools like CBT and CPT to help you process trauma and manage daily stress. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can explore your past and the practical skills to feel more grounded going forward.

What you can expect from me

Working with me feels like a balance of deep insight and practical action. I spend a lot of time listening to your story, but I won’t leave you without a map. We’ll use a warm, exploratory approach to understand the roots of your stress, paired with the structured tools that give you a clear path forward. Clients typically find that this combination helps them feel lighter, more present with the people they care about, and more resilient in their day-to-day lives.
