In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Therapy with me starts with conversation—not pressure or expectations. I create a space where clients can share at their own pace, whether they arrive ready to talk or simply need time to feel comfortable. Through thoughtful, gentle questions, I work to understand what’s bringing them in and what kind of support would feel most helpful right now. I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership. Clients don’t have to figure things out on their own—I help them feel seen, supported, and grounded while we develop a clear, manageable plan that fits their life and capacity. My goal is to support meaningful, lasting change in a way that feels steady, respectful, and sustainable.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With nearly a decade of experience working with adults, I specialize in supporting women and Veterans as they navigate meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in women’s mental health and shaped by a deep understanding of the unique emotional and identity-related challenges Veterans often face. I offer a therapeutic space centered on clarity, stability, and genuine growth. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, life transitions, relationship patterns, and the emotional weight of juggling multiple roles and responsibilities. For Veterans, this may also include adjusting to civilian life, processing service-related experiences, navigating hypervigilance or moral injury, and reconnecting with purpose beyond service. I provide a warm, collaborative environment where clients feel truly understood—without pressure or judgment. My approach blends compassionate presence with clinical expertise, using evidence-based, trauma-informed practices to help clients feel grounded and safe as we explore what’s beneath the surface. Together, we identify patterns, beliefs, and past experiences that continue to impact present-day functioning. Whether clients are managing chronic stress, working through self-doubt, healing emotional wounds, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others, our work focuses on restoring self-trust and strengthening emotional resilience. I support clients in developing practical strategies, improving emotional regulation, and creating sustainable change that fits their lives. For many women and Veterans, therapy is one of the few spaces where they don’t have to hold everything together. It’s a place to set down what feels heavy, reconnect with themselves outside of expectations or roles, and tend to parts of themselves that have been overlooked or overwhelmed. When clients are ready to feel more balanced, grounded, and empowered, I’m here to support that next step.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—even when they’re not sure where to begin. Many clients reach out during seasons when life feels heavier than usual: rising anxiety, emotional burnout, unresolved trauma, depressive symptoms, or major life transitions that have disrupted their sense of stability or identity. I also work extensively with military Veterans navigating the emotional, relational, and identity challenges that can surface during or after service, including the transition to civilian life, processing high-stress experiences, and reconnecting with purpose beyond duty. Clients come to therapy for different reasons. Some are ready to address long-standing patterns that no longer serve them—such as relationship dynamics, boundaries, self-criticism, or coping habits. Others are rebuilding self-trust and confidence after difficult or discouraging experiences. Many simply arrive exhausted from carrying everything on their own and are looking for a space where they don’t have to be strong or composed all the time. My role is to help clients slow down and 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 strategies. We explore personal history and patterns that influence current stress and relationships, gently challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build effective tools for emotional regulation, stress management, and day-to-day coping that can actually be sustained outside of session. For Veterans, therapy often includes processing service-related experiences, navigating transitions, strengthening relationships, and reclaiming identity beyond survival mode or constant responsibility. I approach this work with deep respect for lived experience and clinical care tailored to each individual. Across all the work I do, 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.
