My ideal clients are children, adolescents, and adult military members/veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life transitions. Teens I work with may be struggling with school stress, peer relationships, emotional regulation, or identity development. Veterans and service members may be adjusting to military transitions or processing difficult experiences. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward but want a safe, supportive space to better understand themselves, build coping skills, and feel more confident in handling life’s challenges.
I provide trauma-informed therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, and life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, I help clients build coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and feel more confident navigating challenges.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, whether you’re reaching out for yourself or for your child. You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck, therapy can help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.
