About My Clients

My clients are often navigating trauma, intense emotions, or suicidal thoughts. Many feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they're just surviving day to day. Whether it's your first time in therapy or you're returning after a break, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood. You don’t have to go through this alone—we’ll work together to help you gain clarity, develop new skills, and build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed psychologist with a Psy.D. from Spalding University. Since 2020, I’ve worked with adults facing trauma, personality disorders, suicidal thoughts, and major life challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based treatments like DBT, CBT, CPT, and Prolonged Exposure. I believe therapy should feel human—not robotic. You’re the expert on your life, and I’m here to support and challenge you as you work toward meaningful change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone has the capacity for growth, even in the midst of pain and struggle. Reaching out for help is a courageous act, and therapy should be a safe, respectful space where you feel seen and supported. I view my role as a guide—walking alongside you, not ahead of you—offering tools, perspective, and encouragement. I believe in meeting people where they are while also challenging them to move toward the life they want to live, not just survive.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
