Great to meet you!

I'm a therapist and Air Force veteran who has spent 9 years helping young people and adults work through anxiety, trauma, and life's harder chapters. I know what it means to

carry things you don't have words for yet. Whether you're a teenager navigating something new or a veteran carrying old weight, you belong here. I'd love to connect.

My approach to therapy

I typically work weekly with clients using, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior therapies. I use warmth and humor to build therapeutic environments for the client to feel comfortable in. I'm passionate about helping clients feel better and make positive changes in their life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we go at your pace. You choose what to share and when. I'll ask a few gentle questions to understand what brought you here, and we'll start mapping out what you want to feel on the other side of this work. There's no pressure to have it all figured out. You'll leave that first session knowing exactly what to expect next, and with a little more room to breathe.
