Are you hesitant to trying therapy? As a veteran, I know how hard it can be to find the right support. My goal is to help you resolve patterns that no longer serve you and create practical steps toward lasting change. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the challenges of anxiety, trauma, and relationship stress. I have extensive experience supporting military service members, veterans, and first responders, who often face unique pressures and invisible wounds. I also work with inter-abled couples & help them reconnect after the trauma of injury & navigate complicated dynamics.
Whether you’re struggling with the effects of PTSD, feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, or working through relationship difficulties, therapy with me is about building tools, resilience, and deeper self-understanding. I also provide couples counseling, helping partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and reconnect in meaningful ways.
In therapy, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. I hope to support you in gaining insights into your challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal growth. Therapy helps you heal, gain self-awareness, and navigate life's difficulties.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or trauma related to their relationships or present life. I often hear that many people feel chronically stuck after years of not making the progress they want. I believe therapy can be a collaborative partnership to help you get unstuck. I am approach-focused and want to help you find the right fit to reach your goals.
