Great to meet you!

If you are searching for a therapist, that means you are looking for help making a change in your life. My role will be a guide and support along the way. Sometimes we need someone to help us understand the why and how of making those changes. I can be that person for you.

I have 25 years of experience as a licensed provider. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with issues related to trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I provided trauma-informed care, including EMDR. I also bring experience working with military, healthcare, and first responder populations. My blend of clinical training, experience, and practical insight allows me to approach therapy with both depth and flexibility

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is collaborative and strengths‐based. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, mindfulness‐based practices, and client centered approaches to help clients meet their goals in meaningful, sustainable ways.

I recognize that each person’s story is unique. Throughout our work together, I remain attentive to your individual needs, preferences, and pace. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where growth and change can take root.

What you can expect from me

The relationship between the therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of successful outcomes. Building this relationship starts at the first session. I am curious to learn why you sought help, why now, and what your hopes are for the outcomes. In the session, we will work towards a collaborative plan to set goals and the steps to reach them.

I view myself as a guide along the path to healing. I recognize that each person’s story is unique. Throughout our work together, I remain attentive to your individual needs, preferences, and pace. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where growth and change can take root. A blend of clinical training and practical insight allows me to approach therapy with both depth and flexibility.
