For the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, heal, and discover their potential through therapy. I’ve worked with diverse populations, including military personnel, youth, and adults, and I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My ideal client is someone who is ready for change, needs a little encouragement to take that next step, or wants to better understand who they are, why they think and behave the way they do, and how to become the best version of themselves. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, working through past experiences, or simply trying to find your footing, you don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy. We all have a starting point, and you’re welcome to begin yours here.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, working through past experiences, or simply trying to find your footing, you don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy.
First session
First things first, you will feel welcomed! Starting therapy can feel overwhelming or intimidating, especially if it’s your first time, and that’s completely okay. We’ll take time to address any nerves, review informed consent and what to expect, and discuss your expectations, concerns, and goals for therapy. Together, we’ll begin identifying what you want to change, what progress might look like, and how you’ll know therapy is working for you. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out in one session. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, encouraged, and hopeful—with the reassurance that you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. You’ll have someone in your corner, ready to help you take the next step toward the life you want.
Strengths
My approach combines compassion, empathy, and accountability. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and heard, but also challenged to grow. I can hold space for you when you need to process your experiences, and I can also help you identify patterns, step outside your comfort zone, and take meaningful action toward your goals. My goal is to help you build the resilience, confidence, and tools to navigate life independently. Ultimately, I want to work myself out of a job—not because the work doesn’t matter, but because I want you to leave therapy feeling empowered and equipped to manage life’s challenges on your own.
Ideal clients
It doesnt matter what stage of life your in as long as your ready for change, even if they aren’t quite sure where to start. Maybe you’re hesitant, slow to open up, or still trying to understand yourself and your experiences—and that’s okay! You don’t have to have all the answers or feel completely ready to begin. What matters is your willingness to show up, explore what’s holding you back, and work toward the goals that matter to you. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, healing from past experiences, or simply wanting to become a better version of yourself, I’ll meet you where you are while encouraging you to keep moving forward. You set the goals; we’ll work together to help you reach them.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we’ll identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills to manage anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. Motivational Interviewing helps you build confidence and create meaningful change, while trauma-informed, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches support healing, emotional regulation, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors so you can better manage anxiety, stress, ADHD-related challenges, and everyday life difficulties. Motivational Interviewing (MI): Helps you explore your goals, work through uncertainty, and build the confidence and motivation to make meaningful, lasting changes. Trauma-Informed and Strengths-Based Therapy: Creates a safe, supportive space to process difficult experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and develop healthy coping strategies at your own pace. Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation: Helps you manage overwhelming emotions, reduce stress, improve focus, and feel more grounded in the present moment. Solution-Focused Therapy: Helps you identify your strengths, build on what is already working, and take practical steps toward your goals.
