My most important goal working with clients is to build a trusting and safe partnership. I hope to provide an inviting, empathic, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore the depth of your inner truth and to help you actualize the life you envision for yourself.

Often, we are more resilient than we believe we are - I'm here to help you harness that strength and find hope again.

What is holding you back? I work with young adults who don't know the answer to that question, who are struggling with life transitions, finding a purpose, and may be having a life "crisis."

I offer individual and group therapy. My scope of practice has been focused around young adult men and women ages 20-35 and with Veterans of all ages. My main goal for treatment is to help you identify the way you have developed from core beliefs of yourself, others, and the world. We are all so much a part of our own norm that often, it is hard to identify unhelpful or maladaptive patterns and behaviors. I will help you identify whats sitting in your core and how we can focus on developing the positive; or restructuring the parts that no longer serve your journey.
