About My Clients

I work with individuals who are ready to explore what’s holding them back and create meaningful change in their lives. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, or their sense of purpose. Some are navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, or healing from past experiences that still affect them today.

My Background and Approach

I believe that every individual is the expert of their own life. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect. I use a client-centered framework, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs and goals. I have experience working with mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders and anger management. I've worked with the veteran population and their family members.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person has an innate capacity for growth, healing, and resilience. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but they also offer opportunities for self-discovery and transformation. I see therapy as a collaborative journey—one where compassion, curiosity, and respect create a safe space for change. I value authenticity, cultural humility, and the belief that each individual’s story is unique and worthy of being heard without judgment. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover your strengths and create a life that feels more aligned with your values and hopes.
