If you’re stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you, my job isn’t to solve things for you — it’s to help you build a toolbox of perspectives, skills, and strategies that actually fit your life.
Maybe you’ve tried to explain what you’re carrying and couldn’t find the words. Or maybe you know exactly what’s wrong and just need somewhere safe to say it out loud. Wherever you land, you’re welcome here.
I became a therapist because I know firsthand what it means to move through life feeling unseen. My goal is simple: to be the consistent, grounding presence that helps you feel safe enough to do real work — and seen enough to believe it’s worth doing.

Many people spend years carrying responsibilities, managing stress, supporting others, and pushing through difficult circumstances without taking time to care for themselves. Over time, that burden can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a sense of feeling stuck and disconnected. My clients often include veterans, first responders, military families, professionals, and individuals facing major life transitions. They may appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with stress, loss, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, or unresolved trauma.

There can be so many spaces in our world where we may feel like we can't be our authentic selves. This may be because it hasn't felt safe, because you're exploring your identity, navigating life transitions, or managing mental health concerns that may impact your abilities to do so. I strive to create a therapeutic space that embraces, uplifts and invites every part of your being - your mind, body, heart and spirit - to show up authentically. In return, I will always show up as my authentic self as a therapist - collaborative, compassionate and empathetic.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
