My motivation for working with clients is to support them in achieving their personal goals. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma, I want to work with you to lessen the amount of energy you are using to cope. These challenges consume so much energy that they leave us with little left to devote to living our best lives. It becomes a vicious cycle that can seem impossible to break; untreated, these conditions can take over our lives. By working together, we can reduce their impact on daily life and regain the energy needed to focus on the positive asp

My journey to becoming a therapist started after returning home from a combat deployment, experiencing a devastating divorce and years of readjustment difficulties. During these deeply personal experiences, I became aware of the hurt and the brokenness we all face and now have a deep desire to help others to overcome as I did. I am passionate about helping couples find reconciliation and negotiating relationship pitfalls. As well as working with clients to heal from past trauma, manage their anxiety/depression, regulate anger or learn to value themselves again. You don't have to face it alone, there is hope.

I use evidence-based approaches including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), mindfulness-based therapies, and the somatic modality of Brainspotting.
When anxiety, trauma, or executive functioning challenges take over, life can start to feel exhausting and unmanageable. I work with adults, children, and teens who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly trying to keep up—whether that shows up as worry, emotional outbursts, shutdown, difficulty focusing, or trouble following through on daily tasks. Therapy can help make sense of these patterns and create real relief.

You may be someone who has already spent time reflecting on your life and wants to understand yourself more deeply. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and insightful, but feel stuck in patterns they cannot quite untangle on their own. They may be facing relentless anxiety, intrusive thoughts and compulsions, grief, depression, major life transitions or recovery from trauma. Often they are asking deeper questions about identity, values, and direction and want a space to explore those “why” questions and make meaningful changes. Many of my clients are also neurodivergent, and you will find this a welcoming space to be you.

I provide an accepting, therapeutic space for clients navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, relational challenges, and life transitions. Often clients are feeling stuck or confused and need a space to understand their experiences as well as support in identifying what works for them.
I also work with individuals experiencing eating disorders and body image concerns. I support clients in working to repair their relationship to food from an anti-diet and Health at Every Size framework rather than one of weight management.

Something happened, maybe once or many times, and even though life has moved forward, your body hasn’t caught up. You might notice anxiety that won’t stop, emotional reactivity, relationship patterns that repeat, or coping skills like numbing, substance use, or overworking that once helped you cope but now feel exhausting. Trauma isn’t just what happened to you, it’s what your nervous system had to do to survive. Together, we'll help your mind and body process what’s been stuck so you can finally feel more grounded, present, and in control again.

You might be used to holding everything together, but still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected underneath. I work with adults whose past experiences continue to impact their ability to feel grounded, safe, or connected in the present. You may have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, or find yourself struggling with self-doubt, shame, or relationship difficulties without fully understanding why. My work is rooted in trauma therapy, where we explore how past experiences shape your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world—and begin to gently shift those patterns.

The therapeutic process is one of endless discovery and self-empowerment. Seeking out help is a valiant first step in this personal journey to befriend yourself. Befriending yourself greatly opens the internal space to invite others in so that we might have fuller, richer, and more wholesome relationships with those we love and those we’ve yet to meet. If you seek to reconnect, or connect more deeply, with your inherent goodness, then please reach out. I am deeply excited by the prospect of being able to share this experience with you.
