About My Clients

My ideal clients are individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and develop healthier ways of connecting with others. Whether addressing anxiety, relationship challenges, or parenting concerns, I work with clients to explore patterns, break generational cycles, and foster greater self-awareness, communication, and connection in their relationships.

My Background and Approach

I bring a broad, interdisciplinary perspective to my work with individuals and couples. My professional experience includes supporting military-affiliated families, as well as clients navigating anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, family of origin issues, major life transitions and trauma. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative and individualized. I look at the whole person, not just the concern, and consider your relationships, life experiences, environment, strengths and other circumstances that may be influencing how you feel and function today. I draw from evidence-based approaches and tailor our work to your needs, goals, and personality. Together, we will explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for navigating emotions and relationships, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change.
