Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when it’s hard to identify or put words to what feels wrong. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, aware that something isn’t working but unsure where to start. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges at your own pace. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting, and there is never pressure to share more than you feel ready to share.
I strive to create a safe, practical therapeutic environment that fosters insight, growth, and meaningful change. Together, we’ll build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, reduce anxiety and reactivity, and process difficult or traumatic experiences. EMDR therapy services are available.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the effects of trauma. I especially enjoy supporting teens, women, military members, first responders, and their families. If you're considering therapy, I welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss your goals.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeper into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
