I’m dedicated to helping teens and adults navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, life transition, trauma and family challenges. I take a holistic approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based techniques to support your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I work with individuals who feel trapped by past experiences, struggling to set boundaries, or seeking clarity in their relationships. Whether you’re dealing with childhood wounds, toxic family dynamics, or the emotional toll of breaking free from unhealthy patterns, I provide a compassionate, structured space to help you process, heal, and move forward.
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other in a comfortable, judgment-free space. We’ll start with a brief introduction, and I’ll explain how therapy works, including confidentiality and what you can expect moving forward. You’ll have the opportunity to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable, there’s no pressure to dive deep right away. I’ll ask some questions about your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. We’ll explore what has been working for you, what hasn’t, and identify patterns that may be holding you back. This session is about building trust, setting the foundation for our work together, and creating a plan that feels right for you. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance, just bring yourself as you are. By the way, if you're coming in-person, snacks and drinks are provided for your comfort.
I have worked in community mental health, private practice, public schools, universities, and government roles, giving me a well-rounded perspective on the challenges people face at different stages of life. My background in psychology, social work, and business allows me to take a holistic approach to therapy, integrating practical solutions with deep emotional work. I specialize in helping clients who feel stuck in unhealthy family dynamics, struggling with guilt, boundaries, or self-worth. My experience working with service members, professionals, and individuals navigating complex life transitions has given me insight into how past experiences shape present behaviors and relationships. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR to help clients break free from unhealthy patterns and develop new ways of thinking and living.
You may be high-functioning on the outside while quietly carrying the weight of stress, burnout, or unresolved experiences that keep showing up in your relationships and daily life. You're self-aware enough to know something needs to change, but haven't found the right space to work through it. Maybe you've been the strong one for so long that asking for help feels uncomfortable, or you're not even sure where to start. I work best with people who are thoughtful, motivated, and ready to do the deeper work, not just manage symptoms, but understand what's driving them and build a life that actually feels sustainable.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I regularly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice to help clients identify, challenge, and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.
EMDR
I use EMDR to help clients process trauma and distressing experiences that haven't responded to talk therapy alone. Rather than just talking about what happened, we work directly with how your brain stored it so it stops interfering with your present life.

Josh was great at communication. He was understanding and easy to talk too. And a good listener.
