I primarily focus on understanding and addressing individuals', couples', and families' unique needs.
I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist in identifying challenging negative thought patterns and help reframe unhelpful beliefs that may impact their well-being. I use solution-focused therapy (SFT) to engage in conversations focused on client goals, explore solutions, and identify what is currently working well in their life.

I believe that the extra education helps me to provide more thorough, informed, and helpful feedback for clients. I currently provide therapy on a broad range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, and mood disorders. I am also comfortable working with sexual, gender, and eating issues.

I get it. It’s midnight and you’re here, searching for help, trying to make sense of the pain and silence you’ve carried for far too long. Whether you're a woman in uniform, a mother navigating life post-incarceration, or both, your story is real. As a woman who served in both the military and federal law enforcement, I understand what it means to survive in systems built to break you. I also know the pain of having no one to turn to who truly understands. You’ve carried the guilt, the grief, the trauma, and still, you rise. But you shouldn’t have to rise alone.

Misunderstandings, irrational beliefs and self-defeating thoughts can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and relationship difficulties.
When our thinking becomes blurred, our behaviors will be altered, consequently affecting the people around us, and beyond; we suffer, and so do our loved ones. Sadly, for a long-time people have avoided seeking help because of the stigma attached. Fortunately, this thought process is changing; more people are getting help rather than suffering needlessly.

Navigating the complexities of women's lives isn't something you can learn from a manual—there's no foolproof guidebook for handling the challenges of high school, the transition into motherhood, or the many stages in between. During your teenage years, you're discovering who you are, and as you enter adulthood, it can feel like a constant struggle to hold onto that identity amidst the demands of school, family, and career. It's all too easy to lose yourself in the pressure, expectations, and noise that society places on women.
