My counseling style is person centered, meeting people where they are to help them attain their goals. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, motivational interviewing and rational emotive counseling. I will design your treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals. Taking the first step toward change can be very challenging. However, If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working with you!

Military life brings both strength and strain—for service members, veterans, and the people who love them. Life can feel heavy when you’ve experienced trauma, painful relationships, or ongoing stress and you may find yourself feeling stuck in old patterns, disconnected from others, or uncertain about how to move forward. Whether you’re healing from trauma, adjusting after deployment, or struggling to reconnect at home, I offer a space where you can feel understood, supported, and empowered to find balance and direction. Growing up in a military-dedicated family, I understand the sacrifices, stress, and strength you bring.
