Currently accepting virtual appointments. Everyone’s journey is different, and therapy should be just as unique. I specialize in meeting you where you are and empowering you to push through challenges for lasting change. While therapy may feel uncomfortable at times, it’s through stepping out of your comfort zone that true growth happens.
My approach is designed to challenge you in a way that’s tough yet rewarding, helping you unlock your full potential. My clients understand that real transformation requires effort, but the results—strength, confidence, and lasting success—are worth it.
Let’s start your journey today.
I am a LPC with an expansive history working with addictions, dual diagnosis, veterans, life transitions, active duty, high functioning professionals. These past lines of work have been extremely helpful on creating a holistic approach to therapy. I challenge my clients on being honest with themselves and getting out of their own way.
With a decade in the field and the range of past clientele I have a wide array of working through different life situations and don't hold bias or judgment on others. I work to make sure my clients and I collaborate together and that it's a good fit for both sides.
