Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to figure everything out on their own. They may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition and want more than someone who simply listens. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s keeping you stuck, identify practical steps forward, and build lasting changes that fit your life and your goals.
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. As the spouse of a military veteran and a stepmother, I also understand many of the unique challenges military and blended families face. My approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to you.
You don’t have to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you’re ready for honest conversations, practical support, and someone who will genuinely walk alongside you, I’d love the opportunity to help.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with clients. However, I don't think it's ideal to become so ingrained in one type of therapy you aren't trying anything else. I believe the best way to help a client is to find out what might be useful for their specific needs. I am committed to providing individualized care and do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
