My path into counseling is rooted in a deep respect for service and community. Before becoming a therapist, I served in the United States Marine Corps. That experience, along with years of work in schools, healthcare, and community settings, shaped my understanding of the quiet weight many people carry. I support children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life’s challenges. Many of my clients are capable and dedicated, yet feel overwhelmed or disconnected. Together, we work to restore purpose, build balance, and reconnect you with what matters most.

I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals who feel stuck in a particular place. Often these times are during a transition phase of life coupled with some grieving for a particular phase of life being left behind. I have a natural curiosity for why people do the things they do and this helps me to be inquisitive yet not judgmental regarding a person's behavior. I have a strong faith based background and will seek to use whatever spiritual strengths a person has to move them further along in the process of healing and adjusting to their new reality.
