Great to meet you!

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I help adults work through anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the stress of big life transitions so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to the work.

My background spans trauma-informed care, support for college students building self-advocacy and success strategies (especially those with learning differences), and extensive work with the military community — including wounded warriors and their families.

Whether you're navigating a career or life change, managing attention or focus challenges, working through anxiety or depression, or facing relationship stress, I offer a safe, collaborative space where real growth is possible.

Clients often describe me as warm, real, non-judgmental, and direct in a supportive way. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome people from all backgrounds with a spirit of inclusion and care.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when it's personalized, practical, and empowering. Rather than fitting you into a fixed method, I draw on evidence-based approaches — CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, and solution-focused therapy — and tailor our work to your unique needs, values, and strengths.

My approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based throughout, which means we'll build on what's already working in your life, not just focus on what's wrong.

In practice, that looks like helping you build focus, manage stress and anxiety, develop practical coping tools, and reconnect with your own sense of capability.

I'll gently challenge you to build insight and step into your potential — always at your own pace, with compassion and respect.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a relaxed, no-pressure space to start.

Mostly, I want to understand what brought you in, what's feeling hard right now, and what you're hoping will feel different.

You'll get a clear sense of how I work and whether it feels like the right fit — that part matters, and there's no obligation to have it all figured out before we begin.

From there, we'll start shaping a practical plan around your goals, so you leave with a sense of direction and the feeling that you're no longer carrying it alone.
