“Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” —Albert Einstein. I believe these words reflect the essence of therapy. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other life challenges, there is a path toward clarity, peace, and personal growth.. In therapy, we work to simplify the overwhelm, restore emotional balance, and uncover new opportunities for strength and self-discovery. You are not your diagnosis—you are resilient and capable of meaningful change. Let’s build a life where you can truly thrive.
I bring a unique perspective shaped by military service and life experience, offering a grounded, real-world approach to healing. I believe in meeting clients with empathy, compassion, and respect. If you're ready to begin your journey, reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
Reaching out for help takes courage, and I want you to know you’re not alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of support, I offer a space that’s compassionate, steady, and judgment-free. When you're ready, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your path forward.

My therapeutic orientation highly consists of CBT in which we'll look at how thoughts affect our emotions. For trauma, specifically, I use Forward Facing Trauma Therapy which focuses less on talking about your trauma and more about self-regulation, getting to know your physiological reactions and living with intentionality. I also use a lot of mindfulness in my practice through guided imagery.
