Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel safe to be yourself, share your experiences, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to meet each client where they are while helping them recognize their strengths and build confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges.

Before becoming a therapist, I proudly served for seven years in the U.S. Army. My military experience strengthened my resilience, leadership, adaptability, and ability to remain calm and supportive during difficult circumstances. It also gave me a personal understanding of the unique experiences that can come with military service, transition, and life after the military. Today, I bring these qualities into my work as a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), using a compassionate, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach. I value working with veterans and creating a space where they can feel understood, respected, and comfortable discussing experiences that may be difficult to share.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, veterans, and couples experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, stress, relationship challenges, sleep concerns, OCD, mood-related concerns, and personality disorders. I also have a special interest in supporting individuals and couples navigating infertility, grief and loss, and significant life transitions. I believe every individual and relationship has unique strengths. Together, we can build on those strengths while developing practical tools to improve communication, manage emotions, navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.

I especially value witnessing the growth that occurs when clients can safely process their experiences and begin viewing themselves and their stories in new ways. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, working through past experiences, navigating a major life transition, adjusting to life after military service, or hoping to strengthen your relationship, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I also recognize that the impact of military service does not necessarily end when someone leaves the military. Whether you transitioned out recently or have been a veteran for many years, therapy can provide an opportunity to explore experiences, emotions, relationships, or challenges that may continue to affect your life today.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your journey as a veteran, I look forward to partnering with you to create a personalized treatment plan centered around your goals, strengths, and needs. My hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, understood, and supported, with practical strategies and renewed hope as you move toward the life and relationships you want to build.
