LCSW, 9 years of experience
Grounded. Caring. Compassionate. As both a veteran and a licensed therapist, I bring a genuine, down-to-earth approach to therapy—rooted in empathy, real-life experience, and clinical expertise. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. I work with adults facing the lasting effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, personality and mood disorders. Whether you’re feeling constantly on edge, stuck in cycles of self-doubt, or just worn down by the weight of it all—you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, confidence, and lasting change. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. I believe in a clear, collaborative, and goal-oriented approach that helps you move forward—beyond simply talking about what’s hard, toward building the tools and insight you need to truly heal and grow. Many of my clients come to me when they’re ready for change but unsure where to start. My role is to help you find the path and walk it with you, step by step. I draw from evidence-based methods tailored to your needs, including: • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Therapy to challenge unhelpful patterns and reduce avoidance. • Internal Family Systems (IFS) to foster self-understanding and heal emotional wounds from within. • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen coping skills, emotional balance, and resilience. Above all, I offer a therapeutic relationship that’s honest, grounded, and judgment-free—a place where you can show up exactly as you are and feel truly seen. If you’re looking for a therapist who’s compassionate, authentic, and will gently challenge you toward meaningful growth, I’d be honored to work with you. Let’s begin this process together. Real change is possible—and it starts here.
Our first session is all about connection—not pressure. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. I’ll ask gentle, thoughtful questions to get a better sense of what’s been happening in your life and what you’re hoping for from therapy. Together, we’ll start shaping a plan that feels doable, supportive, and truly meaningful. I see therapy as a partnership—one where you don’t have to carry everything alone. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes in your life. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to meet you. Reach out today—healing starts here.
With over nine years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults—and a special focus on women’s mental health—I offer a warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth space where you can feel truly seen, supported, and understood. My approach balances compassion with gentle guidance, helping you feel safe while also encouraging meaningful growth and change. I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT to help you shift unhelpful thought patterns and reconnect with what truly matters to you. For those healing from trauma, I use a soft, trauma-informed lens that may include narrative therapy, IFS-informed parts work, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices. Whether you’re feeling anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, or stuck in painful relationship patterns, therapy can help you find your footing again. My goal is to help you build resilience, clarity, and a stronger connection to your authentic self—so life starts to feel a little lighter, and a lot more your own. If this resonates, reach out today. The first step toward feeling better can start right now.
Therapy often begins when life starts to feel too heavy to manage on your own. Many of the people I work with—women, veterans, teens, and adults—have been carrying so much for so long, often quietly and without support. Some are navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, or depression. Others are working through painful relationships, identity shifts, or major life changes that have left them feeling disconnected, exhausted, or unsure of who they are. Many have spent years being “the strong one” for everyone else, even while struggling inside. If any of that sounds familiar, please know this: you don’t have to keep holding it all together by yourself. Therapy can be the place where you finally get to exhale—a space where you don’t have to explain or perform, where it’s safe to simply be as you are. Whether you come in feeling tired, uncertain, hopeful, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here. The clients who find the most healing in our work together aren’t just looking to cope—they’re ready to feel deeply seen, to move beyond survival mode, and to reconnect with themselves in a way that feels whole and authentic. Together, we’ll use evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and interpersonal therapy, while also honoring every part of you—your emotions, body, story, and spirit. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about remembering your resilience and learning to live with more peace, presence, and self-compassion. If you’re ready—maybe nervously, maybe uncertainly—to take that first step, I’ll meet you there with warmth, patience, and care. You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
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.
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.
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.
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.
