My work focuses on helping clients process the impact of abusive or emotionally challenging parent relationships, including experiences of bullying, neglect, abandonment, and growing up as a parentified child. I also support clients working through grief and loss, as well as ambivalence or difficulty accepting a family member’s identity. In addition to relational and developmental trauma, I work with people facing major life transitions, including relationships and relocation

I am a US Navy Veteran, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Life Coach. After establishing a trusting and genuine relationship with clients, I then strive on helping individuals become comfortable with the uncomfortable. I am a life coach that aims at helping those looking for guidance in achieving their personal and professional goals. I provide support and guidance to help you focus on what's important to you and then how to take the necessary steps.

While at one point your energy, thoughtfulness and persistence served you and helped you to accomplish things, perhaps you've noticed these patterns and behaviors take on a life of their own. Now you might be more fearful, doubtful, and engaging in avoidance. What used to bring you joy is now being perceived as a chore or a threat. You want peace of mind and freedom to enjoy what's right in front of you without being consumed by all the what ifs and other worst case scenarios. You recognize that the anxiety that used to serve you is now being used against you and you're tired of it.

I've always enjoyed the challenges of helping people through a wide array of problems. These include anxiety, depression, challenges due to neurodiversity, identity-related issues, relationship issues including marriage and family difficulties, substance abuse, grief and loss, and the problems that arise due to changing life circumstances such as death of a loved one, high school and college graduation, job and career change. I work hard to listen to each issue so that I can create a safe environment for exploration, growth, learning, expression and relief.

Adolescence is a time of enormous change and growth—and it can also be overwhelming. I work with pre-teens, teens, young adults and their families as they navigate identity development, complex emotional experiences, peer relationships, school difficulties, and challenges at home.
I believe meaningful change happens not only through individual support but also through strong family connections. I partner closely with parents and caregivers to better understand their child's experiences, strengthen family relationships, and develop practical strategies that support growth both at home and in everyday life.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be over this by now,” you’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. Sometimes feelings stick around longer than we expect. You might feel anxious, stuck, or unsure why certain patterns keep showing up in your life. This can come from things like loss, big life changes, shifting roles, or plans that didn’t turn out the way you hoped. It can also show up as stress, self-doubt, or just feeling a little off. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what’s been weighing on you.

The counseling process is an opportunity for people to explore who they are, where they have been, where they want to go, and who they want to become. We often start a counseling journey because we are experiencing emotional pain. My hope is that I can join with you on your healing journey, and that you come to see the journey as a gift. A gift of becoming authentically and transparently you. A gift of healthier, stronger relationships. A gift for living your best life.

Love is a battlefield? Maybe, but only if you are fighting for the same team. You don't have to go through this alone. I help couples move from disconnection to security, teaching them to fight for each other rather than against each other. Through Emotion-Focused Therapy, I guide partners in recognizing their conflict patterns and expressing their needs while deepening their bond. Together, we build a foundation where the question, “Are you there for me?” is met with the answer, “I’m right here.”
