Two openings available now! Are you carrying emotional wounds that feel heavy and hard to name? Maybe you’re experiencing deep hurt, feeling disconnected, or wondering if things will ever get better. I understand how isolating that can feel, and I also believe healing is possible. Invisible injuries and scars don’t have to define you; with the right care and support, they can transform into sources of resilience and strength. All the answers already lie within you. I’m here to help you unlock them.
As your therapist, I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore your experiences and discover what’s possible when you take time for yourself. We’ll use traditional methods like solution-focused brief therapy + integrate wisdom-rooted practices such as mindfulness to help you reconnect with yourself, manage difficult emotions & build connections
As both a therapist and an Army combat veteran with over 20 years of service, I know the value of courage, healing, and growth. My mission is to help you cultivate a stronger relationship with yourself because when that foundation is solid, everything else in your life begins to shift. Feel free to email me to schedule a complimentary intro call.
