I use a client centered approach which focuses on the clients goals. Many persons seek help for anxiety, depression, dealing with the effects of trauma, and dealing with difficult life problems like relationship problems, health problems of themselves or others, and addiction. I often teach clients relaxations methods to improve their wellbeing while dealing with difficult problems. I have worked with many persons who have experienced extreme trauma, including veterans and refugees. I also specialize in treating gambling addiction and with seniors who have mental and physical health challenges.

I work with people who look fine on the outside but are running on empty inside, and through honest, deep exploration of what's beneath the surface, we work together to build greater resilience and a clearer path forward. Whether you know exactly what's holding you back or just know something needs to change, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck, build healthy coping strategies, and develop the inner strength and confidence to navigate life's challenges. My clients are ready to reflect, do the work, and create lasting change — and I'm here to guide them every step of the way.

Every human being deserves the space to be seen, heard, and understood. For many of us, the traumas, heartaches and loss we have endured have been experienced in isolation; we have believed that we must carry these burdens alone. But, we are not designed to simply be individuals, we are designed to connect and heal through connection with others. In the presence of an empathetic and attuned witness, where we are no longer alone in our pain, we are often able to let go of what no longer serves us and allow the process of transformation to take place.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck carrying experiences that continue to affect your daily life. Perhaps you're navigating a difficult life transition, struggling in relationships, recovering from trauma, or finding it hard to manage stress and emotions. Whatever brought you here, therapy can provide a space to better understand what you're experiencing and develop tools to move forward. As a military veteran, I understand the challenges that come with major life transitions, high-pressure environments, and the impact that difficult experiences can have on emotional well-being.

I don't have a specific client that is "ideal" as every client has their own unique history and backstory. I definitely look forward to meeting with people who are interested in self-growth but I also enjoy helping people get to the point to where the may be ready to work on their self-growth. If you are reading this, you would probably be the ideal client since you have taken the first step in just having that thought in your head about maybe it is time to give yourself the love you give to others and focusing on yourself.

Therapy is a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported. I believe the relationship we build together is at the heart of meaningful change, and I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels collaborative, genuine, and tailored to who you are. My approach is grounded in an attachment lens, integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy, AEDP, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, IFS, trauma-informed care, and attention to each person’s unique cultural background and lived experiences. I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy, and I value taking the time to understand what feels most helpful for you.
