Great to meet you!

I have worked in the helping professions for more than 20 years, and in therapy specifically for the past eight. I genuinely enjoy people — their stories, their resilience, and the ways they grow when given the space to be fully seen. I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help; I’ve struggled with that myself at times. But every time I did, I learned something essential that helped me move forward, and I bring that same compassion and humility into my work with clients.

My career has included supporting marginalized communities, individuals with serious mental illness, and people navigating the criminal justice system. For the past 13 years, I’ve primarily worked with veterans and the profound trauma many experienced during recent conflicts. My work with female veterans has been especially meaningful and rewarding.

I believe every person has a purpose, even if trauma, survival strategies, or life circumstances have buried it. Therapy is an opportunity to uncover that purpose, reconnect with your strengths, and begin writing a new chapter — one where you are in charge of your story and no longer defined by the pain you’ve carried. provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can slow down and explore the patterns of emotion and behavior that shape their lives. I believe people often fall into negative cycles not because they’re broken, but because those patterns once helped them cope. In our work together, we identify these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment and develop practical strategies to navigate difficult moments with more clarity and confidence. I’ve seen meaningful healing happen when people feel supported, understood, and equipped with tools that help them move toward the life they want.

My approach to therapy

I believe in meeting you exactly where you are and tailoring our work to fit your unique needs and goals. Together, we create a space where challenges can be explored openly and where hope, strength, and healing have room to grow. My approach is eclectic and responsive — integrating CBT, mindfulness, Shadow Work, and client‐centered goals — but the foundation of my work is Logotherapy and the belief that discovering your purpose can be profoundly healing.

Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, processing trauma, or working to break long‐standing behavioral patterns, I walk alongside you as you uncover your strengths and move toward meaningful change. Through collaboration, we examine the narratives that shape your present, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and cultivate a deeper sense of empowerment. Healing is a journey, and I’m here to support and encourage you as you find your path.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll simply talk. I want to get to know who you are — where you come from, how you’re feeling, what’s happening in your life, and what brought you here. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as you’d like about your background, your family, and anything else that feels important. Together, we’ll explore what you’re hoping to work on and begin shaping goals that feel meaningful and achievable.

I believe that small goals paint the bigger picture. We’ll look at the smaller steps that move you toward where you want to go, because change doesn’t happen overnight — and perseverance truly pays off. My intention is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to begin this process at your own pace.

I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together.
