Great to meet you!

As a Navy veteran and retired military wife, I have a deep personal appreciation of the military population and am inspired to continue serving by providing evidence-based treatment. In our therapeutic journey together, we will create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. My passion for helping individuals transform their lives has led me to pursue a diverse range of clinical specialties from trauma treatment to play therapy.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based techniques. I draw from a range of modalities tailoring each treatment plan to meet the unique needs and goals of my clients. I believe that self-awareness is the key to personal growth, and I work close with my clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere.

What you can expect from me

I recognize that taking the first step towards therapy can be a courageous endeavor, and I honor the trust you place in me as your guide. You possess the inner strength and I'm here to empower you on your journey.
