Life can feel overwhelming at times—especially when anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or struggles with food and body image begin to take over. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with experience working with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, relational issues, grief, disordered eating, and weight management. I offer an empathetic, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and respected. My approach is person-centered and uniquely tailored to each client. I believe meaningful change happens within a therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and understanding. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and move at a pace that feels right. If you’re considering therapy, I’d be honored to support you.

Are you tired of craving peace and quiet, only to feel restless the moment you find it? Do you catch yourself questioning everything internally, even when you have what you need? These experiences can be signs of depression, anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma. I help men, veterans, service members, and children reconnect with themselves, improve behaviors, and find the stability and clarity they and their families have been searching for.
As a Marine Corps veteran, I know firsthand how hard it can be to open up, especially to someone who doesn’t understand the culture, the pressure, or the unspoken expectations. I’ve been in the seat where therapy felt distant and disconnected. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to bridging that gap and making you feel understood from the start.

I have provided therapeutic interventions as an outpatient therapist and crisis counselor for 10 years; working with people with acute mental health concerns and people with serious and persistent mental health disorders.
I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds over my career. In helping clients achieve their mental health goals, I acknowledge and support developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my client to best support my clients in developing awareness and skills needed to achieve the therapeutic goals that you set. I believe in a client-centered approach that focuses on interventions that will work best with each, individual client for the best result, based on the beliefs and values of those clients
I understand that people have situations that come up in their lives while working on goals and have, and hope to continue to, help my clients learn skills needed to help manage those problems and increase awareness of how they impact my clients' mental health. I will support you in making changes in your mental health when you are ready to begin.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. Maybe you're overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, struggling to understand your emotions, or simply tired of feeling like you're carrying everything on your own.
Therapy should be more than having someone listen while you talk. You deserve to understand why you feel the way you do, learn practical skills to respond differently, and leave therapy with tools you can actually use in real life.
My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative - but also active. I believe therapy should be more than simply listening and validating. I'll listen without judgment, while also helping you identify patterns, consider new perspectives, and gently challenge the thoughts or behaviors that may be keeping you stuck.
You can expect psychoeducation, practical strategies, skill-building, and honest conversations tailored to what you're experiencing. We can focus on what's important to you, whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, partner/family issues, stress, life changes, self-esteem, boundaries, or life direction.
Most importantly, therapy isn't about changing who you are. It's about helping you understand yourself more deeply, building on your strengths, and developing the skills to navigate life with greater confidence and control.
You don't have to figure it all out alone. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, working through longstanding patterns, or simply want to grow into a healthier version of yourself, there is a path forward, and we can work toward it together.
You deserve a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and still be encouraged to grow.
