Many of my clients face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life transitions, and some struggle with relationships or substance misuse. They seek a safe, supportive space to heal and grow. My goal is to my clients regain balance, resilience, and empowerment.
As a retired U.S. Marine Veteran with 20 years of service, I bring a unique perspective, especially when working with military families and veterans. I use a compassionate, culturally responsive approach, grounded in evidence-based techniques to help clients build coping skills and strengthen relationships.
I help individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions by providing a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. With expertise in family advocacy and substance misuse prevention, I offer personalized, evidence-based strategies to build resilience and emotional well-being.
I understand that seeking support can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face your challenges alone. I’m here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can heal, grow, and regain balance. Wherever you are on your journey, I will meet you with understanding and guidance. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out.
