Great to meet you!

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to carry life’s heavy seasons alone. With over 11 years of clinical experience as a social worker, I provide a compassionate, grounded space for individuals navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and relationship changes.

My practice specializes in supporting adults facing anxiety, depression, postpartum adjustments, trauma (PTSD), and bipolar disorder. I also work closely with individuals battling persistent self-doubt, low motivation, and burnout, helping them quiet the inner critic and rediscover their sense of purpose.

I combine practical, evidence-based methods—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and crisis intervention—with a personalized, collaborative style. As a military spouse, I bring firsthand insight into the unique emotional demands of relocation, adjustment, and balancing family life through shifting circumstances.

In our work together, there is no judgment—just a steady, empowering partnership focused on real solutions. Whether you need practical tools to manage stress or a safe space to process deep change, I am here to help you rebuild confidence and move forward at your own pace.

My approach to therapy

With 11 years of clinical experience, I offer a warm, collaborative space centered on your needs. In our sessions, we will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to actively identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, alongside Motivational Interviewing to help you uncover clarity and overcome self-doubt. Grounded in my personal perspective as a military spouse, I provide practical, non-judgmental guidance to help you navigate life transitions and build lasting confidence at your own pace.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a 50-minute, collaborative conversation conducted via secure video or in person. There is no pressure to have everything figured out or share anything before you feel ready—you are always in complete control of the pace and what we discuss. Together, we will gently explore what brings you to therapy, look at your current goals, and ensure you leave with a clear, supportive roadmap designed around your needs.
