I understand that life can feel chaotic and overwhelming, and I’m passionate about helping clients make sense of it so they can move toward brighter, more grounded days. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, drawing on CBT, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused strategies to support each client’s unique needs.
I have experience working with clients across varying ages and life circumstances, including veterans and first responders, and I tailor my approach to meet each person where they are. From the first session, I focus on building trust through transparency and genuine connection. I believe reaching out for support is a strength, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.
