Life isn’t always a straight path. You may be facing relationship struggles, life transitions, or loss, and finding it hard to move forward. You want to feel seen and heard, not just listened to, and you’re looking for support that’s both compassionate and challenging. You’re ready for change, ready to understand yourself more deeply, and ready to build a life that feels meaningful, for yourself and those you care about.
I help clients navigate a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, other mental health diagnoses, life transitions (such as welcoming a new baby, moving, or divorce), trauma, attachment wounds, and the unique demands of military life. I lean towards attachment theory and how your past experiences can influence your present.
It is an honor to sit with people and hear their stories. I hold deep respect for the courage it takes to open up and allow someone into your inner world. In our work together, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, valued, and truly heard—not just for what you’re going through, but for who you are.
