Great to meet you!

I've spent my career working with people at very different points in life, from adults navigating anxiety and stress to seniors facing changes they never expected. That range, plus my time in both inpatient and outpatient care, means I've learned to meet people exactly where they are. I'm also a Marine Corps veteran, which shaped how I show up for people carrying a lot: steady, direct, and not easily rattled. If you're looking for someone who will listen first and won't judge what you bring in, I'd love to talk with you.

My approach to therapy

I bring a practical, collaborative approach to our work together. Using tools like cognitive behavioral therapy, we'll look at the thought patterns feeding your stress or worry, and I'll help you build coping skills you can actually use between sessions. I also draw on motivational interviewing to help you find your own reasons for change, and a strength-based lens that starts with what's already working in your life. I'll listen first, offer honest guidance, and gently push when it's time to follow through.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance for me to get a full picture of your history and your life right now, not just a list of symptoms, so I understand exactly where you are starting from. From there, we pinpoint what is really driving the difficulty and set clear goals for what you want treatment to look like. If you are ready for someone who will listen closely and also be honest with you along the way, reach out and let us get started.
