It is my belief that the foundation of successful therapy lies in the relationship we build together. Healing happens in the context of trust, safety, and connection, and my priority is to create a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported. Therapy is not just about addressing symptoms—it’s about deepening your understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the world around you so that you can break free from patterns that have kept you stuck and move toward a more fulfilling life. I began my career in 2013 working for the Air Force Special Operations Command, in support of Active-Duty Veterans and families.

My clients are sensitive, smart, and creative, but may find these strengths difficult to access and manage. As a result you may feel disconnected, anxious, and depressed. You may self medicate with alcohol, drugs, or food. I help people reconnect with themselves and use their strengths to build the lives they want and deserve.

Everyone needs help sometimes. Depression, anxiety and grief are common responses to difficulties in life. These difficulties can stem from issues such as stress, trauma or serious health concerns but there is hope!

Are you tired of therapy not getting any results? For many clients, my approach results in significant changes in 3-4 months. I believe you can improve your mental health by tackling your challenges head-on and looking at your situation from new angles. Life transitions (divorce, medical concerns, retirement, parenthood, emerging adulthood, personal identity) are highly stressful. I can help you find balance and happiness by examining your choices and values. Clients often tell me, “I’ve never thought about it that way before." I named my practice “Refreshing Perspectives” because that’s what you’ll find when you come to me.
