Interpersonal relationships are powerful contributors to our overall health. Our intimate partner relationships, family relationships, work or peer relationships tend to affect us in meaningful ways. When our relational lives are strong and connected we feel satisfied, empowered, hopeful, and more confident. When our relational lives are hurting, we feel anxious, sad, pained, frustrated, and left not knowing what to do to improve it. I work with my clients to address the heart of their stressors working toward tangible results with lasting effects. I work collaboratively & passionately to create a safe, responsive, and supportive environment to address your needs.

As a therapist, I aim to hold a safe space that feels both supportive and at times challenging, but always tailored to your personal needs and expressed goals. I like to think of my role as a passenger and navigator, presenting different paths that you may consider, but ultimately you are the one in the driver’s seat. I empower my clients by helping them to champion self-advocacy, assist them in reframing issues into challenges they can overcome, and explore the roots of these challenges so they may be better informed and equipped to tackle current and future adversaries.

Therapy is about compassion, vulnerability, and connection; it can also be about pushing yourself toward growth, creating change, and evolving into who you want to be. I would love to work with you to identify areas of potential and develop a path to success. I use a direct approach to build a real relationship with you. I don't shy away from difficult topics. Making a big leap can be daunting but finding fulfillment is worth the jump. I focus on individuals facing big life changes. As a Tricare provider and the child of a retired service member, I understand the unique stressors faced by the military community and their families.

You’ve tried to manage things on your own but feel like nothing is helping. There’s this powerlessness that keeps creeping in and this gray cloud hanging over your every move. Feeling this way is impacting your relationships, work, and life. You know something has to change.
