Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that bring us suffering. I want you to know there is hope. Therapy is a path for experiencing relief, healing and restoring deep connection with our self, our purpose and others. My work centers on attachment and relational trauma recovery, stress/anxiety and building healthy nervous system regulation, complex trauma recovery and building secure and healthy relationships. When appropriate, I thoughtfully incorporate spirituality into the healing process, honoring each client’s beliefs and values as a source of meaning, resilience, and restoration.

It is much harder for us to show kindness and compassion than it is to judge ourselves because we are not strong enough to push through everything with a smile. I hope to assist you with learning how to extend the kindness you give to others to yourself. I have experience with individuals across the lifespan experiencing significant emotional distress and with those struggling with transitioning between stages of life. I focus on ambiguous grief to assist anyone struggling to identify and establish the role they want to have in their own lives and create sustainable change.

Throughout our lives, we endure and overcome many obstacles. Each one provides growth opportunities, yet some leave us feeling broken, trying to put the pieces back together. Trauma has a profound effect on our internal system, impacting how we view and interact with the world. It may manifest in relational struggles, addiction, avoidant/risky behaviors, and various forms of self-sabotage, all hijacking our ability to live a self-actualized life. No matter the root of your trauma – developmental, single/multiple event trauma, or a mixture of all, healing is possible.

I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist, Army veteran, and someone who believes deeply in helping people understand themselves in a way that finally makes life feel lighter, clearer, and more honest. I bring a grounded, real, and human approach to therapy, one that meets you exactly where you are without judgment or pressure.
Before becoming a therapist, I served in the United States Army and retired as a First Sergeant. That experience shaped the way I listen, lead, and support people through difficult transitions. It taught me how to hold space for others while also guiding them toward growth, accountability, and emotional clarity.
