I believe therapy should be both validating and practical. My role isn’t to tell you how to live your life—it’s to help you better understand yourself, make sense of what’s getting in the way, and build the skills and confidence to create meaningful change.

Over nearly two decades, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and veterans across outpatient, community, school, and healthcare settings. My experience includes trauma, ADHD and autism, anxiety, depression, addiction and recovery, relationship challenges, and helping people navigate the demands of everyday life with greater clarity and confidence.

I take a collaborative, evidence-based approach that is tailored to your goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, strengths-based interventions, and trauma-informed care.

We’ll look beyond symptoms to understand the patterns that have developed over time, identify what’s keeping you from moving forward, and focus on practical strategies that create lasting change. Therapy should leave you with insight you can apply outside the session—not just someone to talk to once a week.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what’s been working, what hasn’t, and what you hope will be different.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. My goal is to understand your story, answer any questions you have, and begin developing a plan that feels realistic, collaborative, and focused on what matters most to you. Many clients leave their first session feeling relieved to have a clear direction and a partner in the process.
