Great to meet you!

I am an empathetic and passionate counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s stressors and transitions. My goal is to support you in identifying and challenging limiting beliefs that may be holding you back, so you can create the life you want. I value building strong therapeutic relationships rooted in trust, collaboration, and respect. As an Army veteran, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by active-duty service members, veterans, and their families—especially around issues related to trauma and adjustment.

My approach to therapy

I believe that effective therapy is built on both the counselor’s training and the client’s commitment to personal growth. No single approach fits all, so I use a flexible, evidence-based approach tailored to each client’s needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

Our first session, you’ll have the opportunity to share what’s been going on in your life and what you’d like to focus on in therapy. I’ll also answer any questions you may have about the process. This session helps us determine if we’re a good fit to work together. Ready to get started? Click the link below to schedule your session. I look forward to meeting you.
