From the outside, your life may look put together. You handle responsibilities, show up for others, and keep things moving. But internally, you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from yourself. If you’re used to being the strong one, it can be hard to admit when you need support. You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress move beyond just getting through the day and start feeling more like themselves again. Together, we focus on real, lasting change so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of your life. As a licensed therapist and U.S. Air Force veteran, I understand the weight of high responsibility, constant pressure, and the expectation to hold everything together. My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on what actually works in everyday life. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based therapy to help you understand what you’re experiencing while building tools you can rely on outside of sessions. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and I also support clients through burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, caregiving stress, and grief. Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself without judgment. If you’re ready to feel better and make meaningful changes, I’d be glad to connect. I currently have daytime availability and welcome you to reach out to get started.
Therapy with me begins with a genuine conversation, not expectations or pressure to have everything figured out. From the first session, you’ll have a supportive, judgment free space where you can show up exactly as you are and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I use thoughtful, compassionate questions to better understand what you’ve been carrying and what kind of support would feel most helpful right now. You do not need to have the perfect words or a clear plan before starting. We will work through it together. I view therapy as a collaborative process where you no longer have to manage everything alone. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and more grounded while creating an approach that fits your needs, your life, and your capacity. If you are looking for a space where you can feel supported while making meaningful and lasting changes, I currently have openings and would be honored to work with you.
With nearly a decade of experience working with adults, I provide therapy that is compassionate, insightful, and grounded in real, lasting change. I welcome referrals for individuals seeking a therapist who offers both emotional support and practical guidance during periods of stress, transition, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. While I have extensive experience working with women and Veterans, my approach is deeply individualized, recognizing that every client brings a unique story, set of challenges, and strengths into the therapy space. I am known for creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported while also being challenged to grow in meaningful ways. My work is rooted in authenticity, trust, and helping clients build greater emotional clarity, resilience, and stability in their everyday lives. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, identity shifts, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the emotional weight of balancing multiple responsibilities. I especially connect with individuals who appear high functioning on the outside while internally feeling exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed. For Veterans, I understand the complexity of transitioning out of service and the lasting impact military experiences can have on emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity, and purpose. This may include navigating hypervigilance, moral injury, difficulty reconnecting with others, or redefining life beyond service. My goal is to provide a grounded, nonjudgmental space where clients can process difficult experiences while rebuilding a stronger sense of self and direction. Whether someone feels stuck, emotionally drained, uncertain of who they are becoming, or simply tired of carrying everything alone, I help clients move beyond survival mode and toward a life that feels more connected, intentional, and sustainable.
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—even when they’re unsure where to begin. Many clients reach out during periods when life feels heavier than usual, whether due to rising anxiety, emotional burnout, unresolved trauma, depressive symptoms, or major life transitions that have shaken their sense of stability or identity. I also have extensive experience supporting military Veterans as they navigate the emotional, relational, and identity challenges that can arise during or after service, including the transition to civilian life, processing high-stress experiences, and reconnecting with a sense of purpose beyond duty. Clients come to therapy for many different reasons. Some are ready to address long-standing patterns that no longer serve them, such as relationship dynamics, boundary struggles, self-criticism, or coping habits. Others are working to rebuild self-trust and confidence after difficult or discouraging experiences. Many simply arrive exhausted from carrying everything on their own and are seeking a space where they don’t have to be strong, composed, or “hold it together.” My role is to help clients slow down and better understand what’s happening beneath the surface—emotionally, mentally, and relationally. Together, we clarify what they want for their lives, explore the beliefs and patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and create a grounded, realistic path forward that feels both meaningful and achievable. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and practical. Our work blends compassion with clear, evidence-based strategies. We explore personal history and relational patterns, gently challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build effective tools for emotional regulation, stress management, and day-to-day coping that can be sustained outside of session. For Veterans, therapy often includes processing service-related experiences, navigating major transitions, strengthening relationships, and reclaiming identity beyond survival mode or constant responsibility. I approach this work with deep respect for lived experience and care tailored to each individual. Across all of my work, my goal is for clients to feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered—to have a steady space where they can show up as they are and know that it’s enough. I welcome referrals for adults and Veterans seeking thoughtful, grounded therapy and meaningful change. If you’re ready to take the next step with the right support, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, balance, and confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a supportive and collaborative approach that helps you navigate life’s challenges by gently exploring and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is a practical, empowering method that focuses on building real-life strategies you can use every day—both in and outside of therapy. Together, we’ll work to understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected, so you can feel more confident, resilient, and in control of your well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
With over five years of experience providing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I specialize in helping people who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, struggle in relationships, or just want better tools to handle life’s ups and downs. DBT is a powerful blend of acceptance and change, and in our work together, I’ll offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and empowered. You’ll learn practical, everyday skills to help you manage stress, communicate more effectively, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I offer Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a gentle, evidence-based approach that supports children, teens, and their caregivers in healing from the effects of trauma. TF-CBT provides a safe and nurturing space where young people can begin to process what they’ve been through, better understand their emotions, and learn healthy, effective ways to cope. This approach combines practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with gradual, supportive steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety, sadness, fear, and behavioral challenges. I work closely with both children and their caregivers—because healing happens best together—to help foster resilience, emotional growth, and lasting well-being.
Strength-Based
I offer Strength-Based Therapy, a supportive and empowering approach that focuses on what makes you strong, not just what’s been difficult. Together, we’ll explore your resilience, your inner resources, and the ways you’ve already grown through life’s challenges—often more than you realize. Instead of focusing on what’s “wrong,” we’ll look at what’s right and build from there. This kind of therapy helps you reconnect with your sense of identity, confidence, and purpose, offering a fresh and hopeful path toward healing and lasting change.
