You may appear to have everything together while privately struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life transitions. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or finding that past experiences continue to affect your daily life. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a compassionate, honest, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. As a retired Army veteran with 22 years of active-duty service, I bring extensive clinical experience and a unique understanding of military culture. I work with adults, and older adults, including veterans, service members, and civilians, helping them navigate life's challenges and move forward with greater confidence.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions using evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, process difficult experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and build on your existing strengths. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered to create meaningful changes in your life.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you're accustomed to managing challenges independently. During our first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your concerns, and identify what you hope to accomplish. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel heard, respected, and supported. We'll work together to establish meaningful goals and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or significant life changes, my goal is to help you develop practical tools and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
