Great to meet you!

I work with adults, older adults, Veterans, and caregivers who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, or relationship challenges. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we identify practical strategies, build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and work toward greater confidence, stability, peace, and emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I use CBT, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and supportive therapy to help clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, caregiver stress, and life transitions while building coping skills, resilience, confidence, and emotional balance in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will listen. I want to understand your story and what you are hoping for. From there, we build a plan that fits your life. Sessions are collaborative and purposeful. I work via telehealth, so you can connect from the comfort and privacy of your own home. I work best with clients who are ready to make meaningful change.
