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

Your first session is about connection, not perfection.. Our work begins with conversation—not pressure. You’re invited to share at your own pace, whether that means opening up right away or simply getting a feel for the process. I’ll ask gentle, thoughtful questions to understand what’s been happening in your life and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we’ll begin shaping a plan that feels manageable, supportive, and personally meaningful. I view therapy as a genuine partnership—one where you don’t have to navigate everything on your own. My role is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered as you move toward lasting growth and change. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Reach out today—healing begins here.

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 through meaningful, lasting change. My work is rooted in women’s mental health and informed by an understanding of the unique challenges Veterans face—offering a therapeutic space focused on real support, real clarity, and real growth. I help clients navigate anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, life transitions, relationship patterns, and the emotional weight that often comes with carrying 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 a sense of purpose beyond service. I provide a warm, collaborative environment where you can feel genuinely understood—without pressure, judgment, or pretense. My approach blends authentic empathy with clinical expertise, drawing from evidence-based, trauma-informed practices that help you feel grounded and safe as we explore what’s been weighing on you. Together, we look beneath the surface to identify patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping your current struggles. Whether you’re managing chronic stress, overcoming self-doubt, healing from past emotional wounds, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others, our work focuses on helping you rediscover your voice and rebuild trust in yourself. Through integrative care, I support clients in shifting unhelpful thought patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, increasing self-awareness, and developing practical strategies that support long-term, sustainable change. For many women and Veterans, therapy is one of the few places where they don’t have to hold it all together. It’s a space to unpack what feels heavy, reconnect with who you are outside of expectations or roles, and tend to the parts of yourself that have been overlooked or overwhelmed. If you’re ready to feel more balanced, more centered, and more empowered in your life, I’m here to help you move toward that. Reach out when you’re ready—your healing, clarity, and confidence can begin here.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and are longing for meaningful change—even if they aren’t sure where to begin. Many of my clients come to therapy during seasons when life feels heavier than usual: heightened anxiety, lingering effects of trauma, waves of depression, emotional burnout, or major transitions that have shaken their sense of stability or identity. I also work extensively with military veterans who are navigating the unique emotional and relational challenges that can arise during or after service—whether it’s adjusting to civilian life, coping with trauma, rebuilding a sense of purpose, or untangling the impact of high-stress environments. Some clients seek therapy to break long-standing patterns that no longer serve them—patterns in relationships, self-talk, boundaries, or coping. Others are working to rebuild self-trust and confidence after discouraging or painful experiences that have made it difficult to feel grounded. And many come simply because they’re tired of “holding it all together” on their own and want a space where they don’t have to be strong every second of the day. My role is to help you slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been overshadowed by stress, trauma, or ongoing responsibilities. Together, we clarify what you really want for your life, identify the beliefs and patterns standing in your way, and create a grounded, intentional path forward that feels authentic—not forced. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in both compassion and practicality. I believe healing happens through understanding, connection, and consistent, meaningful support. In our work, we explore your story, identify the patterns shaping your reactions and relationships, and gently challenge the beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. We also build concrete, effective strategies for managing stress, regulating emotions, shifting unhelpful thinking, and creating new coping tools that are sustainable in your daily life. For veterans, this often includes navigating transitions, processing service-related experiences, strengthening relationships, and reclaiming a sense of identity outside of survival mode or duty. My goal is to meet you with respect, understanding, and clinical expertise tailored to your lived experience. Across all the work I do, my hope is for you to feel truly seen, supported, and empowered—to feel like you have a place where you can show up as you are and know that it’s enough. You deserve to move toward a life that feels steadier, more balanced, and aligned with who you want to be. If you’re ready to explore what’s possible with the right support, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you grow, heal, and step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and confidence.
