You look like you're holding it all together, but inside you're exhausted. Maybe you're the one everyone depends on. You show up for work, your family, and everyone else, but lately you've been running on empty. Anxiety, stress, trauma, or burnout may be making it harder to enjoy life, and you're wondering how much longer you can keep pushing through. You don't have to carry it alone. I help adults who are overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in survival mode find lasting relief. Together, we'll work to quiet the constant stress, process difficult experiences, and help you reconnect with the person you want to be. My goal is to help you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control of your life, not just while you're in therapy, but long after. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and U.S. Air Force veteran, I understand what it's like to feel pressure to stay strong. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. I use evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches to help you create meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in helping adults experiencing anxiety and chronic stress, trauma and PTSD, depression, burnout and compassion fatigue, grief and life transitions, and relationship or caregiving challenges. You deserve a place where you don't have to pretend you're okay. If you're ready to feel lighter, regain your peace, and start enjoying life again, I'd love to help. I currently have daytime appointments available and would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
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.

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.
Supportive
I use supportive therapy to help clients navigate life’s challenges by providing a safe, nonjudgmental space to process thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach focuses on strengthening coping skills, building resilience, enhancing self-esteem, and helping clients identify their existing strengths and resources. With nearly a decade of experience working with adults, veterans, and women facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges, I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic relationship. Supportive therapy can be especially helpful during periods of stress, uncertainty, grief, or adjustment, offering encouragement while fostering insight, growth, and emotional well-being.
Interpersonal
I incorporate interpersonal therapy (IPT) to help clients understand how their relationships, communication patterns, and life transitions impact their emotional well-being. My approach focuses on identifying interpersonal challenges, improving communication skills, strengthening relationships, and addressing issues such as grief, role transitions, conflict, and social isolation. With nearly a decade of experience working with adults, Veterans, and women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes, I help clients explore the connection between their relationships and mental health. I provide a supportive, collaborative environment where clients can develop healthier ways of relating to others, build stronger support systems, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that may be contributing to distress. My approach is collaborative, practical, and goal-oriented, helping clients develop skills they can apply in their daily lives. With nearly a decade of experience working with adults, veterans, and women experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions, I tailor CBT interventions to each client's unique needs and goals. Together, we explore how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, challenge negative thinking patterns, and build healthier coping strategies. My goal is to empower clients with tools that promote resilience, emotional well-being, and long-term growth both inside and outside of therapy.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping effectively with life's challenges. My approach combines acceptance and change strategies, helping clients build mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. With nearly a decade of experience working with adults, veterans, and women facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and emotion regulation difficulties, I integrate DBT techniques in a compassionate and supportive manner tailored to each client's needs. I focus on helping clients increase self-awareness, navigate difficult situations more effectively, and create meaningful changes that align with their values and goals. My goal is to provide clients with skills that foster resilience, confidence, and lasting emotional well-being.

Unfortunately, Sarah wasn't very helpful. She actually blamed me for the sound quality of our session. I went to therapy to find a helpful listening ear. I did not find that with Sarah!!
