I believe people do not need fixing. They need space to be themselves, talk openly, and explore whatever feels important without judgment. I am flexible, adaptable, and here to support whatever you want to work on.
My approach is rooted in respect. You are important, you deserve to take up space, and you will never be judged for who you are. I use talk therapy as the foundation and draw from CBT, SFBT, Reality Therapy, and DBT skills as I continue to learn.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. My primary objective is to facilitate and support the next level of growth and development for individuals and families that I work with. This means something different for everyone, so I focus on building a therapeutic relationship that lends to the understanding and accomplishing of identified goals. There are a number of things that contribute to diminished mental wellness and I am here to help you find out what that is for you and to support you in taking action.

As a trauma informed therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where my clients can share their stories without the feeling of judgement. I aim to walk alongside my clients as they process hardships, anxieties, growth, victories, and change. I also recognize how overwhelming and paralyzing life’s unknowns can feel, and how trying to navigate these unknowns can create fear in our present day lives. Together, we will develop strategies and goals that help navigate through these unknowns and work toward moving past these fears so that you can feel grounded, secure, and ultimately present in your day to day life.

Everyone faces challenges in life, but you don't have to go through it alone. Healing happens in relationships -in our connections to self, community and the environment. As a clinician, I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and treatment is a collaborative process led by the client with guidance from the clinician. My primary goal is to provide support to individuals and families to help them find the best solutions for themselves to achieve their goals. In session I utilize strengths-based, values-driven and person-centered techniques to help clients find their own path to optimal health and wellbeing.

Life events often get in the way whether we plan for them or not. We can't always predict the course of how things will turn out, or how those unexpected events can at times have unintended consequences on us as individuals. Sometimes it’s stress, maybe anxiety or often far more severe like trauma or PTSD. As a 24-year military veteran, trust me I too have had my share. Are you looking for assistance with the hope of positive changes in your life but don't know where to start? I work with individuals looking for support and guidance through those things in life that mentally bog us down they’ve not yet learned to understand.
