About me
I am a licensed therapist with extensive experience in addiction treatment, acute mental health, and behavioral health care. My background includes years of direct clinical work supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult challenges, with a focus on recovery, resilience, and long-term wellness. As a military veteran who served overseas and a cancer survivor, I bring a unique perspective to the therapeutic process. These personal experiences have deepened my empathy, strengthened my commitment to service, and given me an authentic understanding of what it means to face adversity and rebuild.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you, your story, and what brings you to therapy. It’s a relaxed, supportive space with no pressure—you set the pace, and together we’ll start building a plan that feels right for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is combining clinical expertise with genuine empathy shaped by my own life experiences. This helps me create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to heal.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults facing addiction, trauma, and major life challenges, including veterans and survivors of significant health or personal struggles. My ideal clients are those ready to begin healing—even if they don’t yet know what that path looks like—and who want a safe, supportive space to rebuild and grow.
