My Approach to Therapy

I believe that therapy should be a goal-directed, deeply compassionate partnership where you feel genuinely supported while facing life’s challenges. Drawing on over ten years of dedicated social work experience—including five years of active-duty military service as an Air Force police officer—I offer structured, evidence-based care tailored to your unique journey. My practice integrates Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed, person-centered approaches to help you process past experiences and unwind stuck patterns. By combining structured clinical work with a collaborative, engaging atmosphere, my focus is on equipping you with effective tools to cultivate self-acceptance, build resilience, and step into lasting joy.

Who I Work With

I work with adults who are ready to take intentional steps toward healing and self-discovery. Whether you are navigating PTSD and trauma recovery (such as surviving domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, or sexual assault), managing ADHD and executive functioning hurdles, or adjusting to major life transitions, we will create a grounded, empathetic environment to work through them together. My practice is especially attuned to military veterans, individuals in high-stress positions, and neurodivergent adults seeking authentic connection. Having served as a Make-A-Wish granter, I prioritize building rapid trust, mutual respect, and genuine rapport with clients from all walks of life.
