Great to meet you!

I specialize in adults with trauma, including military/veteran issues, however, I treat a variety of illnesses including OCD, depression, anxiety, and personality, behavior, mood disorders and I work with a variety of lifestyle choices, cultures, and diagnoses. I offer EMDR and ERP. I will help to improve quality of life and mental wellness.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is direct, transparent, and action-oriented. I believe therapy should be more than just talking about problems—it should help you create meaningful change. I provide honest feedback, ask challenging questions when needed, and work collaboratively with you to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. While I am compassionate and supportive, I also believe growth often requires discomfort, accountability, and a willingness to approach things differently. I value authenticity and strive to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe enough to be honest, explore difficult experiences, and challenge yourself. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop effective coping skills, and leave each session with greater clarity and confidence in your ability to move forward.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is about building a foundation for meaningful work. I'll spend time understanding what brought you to therapy, what you've already tried, and what you want your life to look like moving forward. I encourage honesty and openness, and I'll meet you with curiosity, compassion, and direct communication.
