Therapeutic change begins when we feel seen, supported, and safe. I strive to create a warm, affirming environment where clients can traverse their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover hope. I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, lasting change using a Narrative therapeutic approach. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to support you—with empathy, compassion, and a deep belief in healing through the transformative power of human connection.
I've served in the US Army and my clinical background includes experience in substance use recovery, crisis response, and trauma work to include survivors of human trafficking, LGBTQ+ community, and justice impacted individuals, families, and communities. My approach is systemic, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in harm reduction.
Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to offer compassionate and empathetic therapeutic services via telehealth or in-person. I believe that every person has a unique story and the inner resources needed to grow, heal, and thrive.

I often use a humanistic treatment approach in my practice. Specifically, I use Narrative and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). Using a Narrative therapeutic approach, my clients are empowered to explore, expand, and overcome problem narratives, then recreate their story with new perspective and insight. When using EFT, focus will be on positive interactions, emotional well being, & Attachment.
