About My Clients

I believe creating change is at the heart of therapy. I find people often feel overwhelmed, depressed, angry, or even just stuck with how their lives are going. You may be hoping for things to improve with your children, partner, work, yourself, or things in general but aren’t able to see any progress.My goal is to help you to make the change you desire and find greater meaning and purpose within your family, relationships, spirituality, work, and other areas of your life.

My Background and Approach

Although I am newly licensed, I have 15+ years in the military supporting members and their families. I have helped celebrate their successes and provide comfort during tragedies. I combine these experiences with a solution-focused approach to help clients use their strengths to overcome obstacles. I may also incorporate trauma-focused CBT or DBT, as needed.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we all have the ability within us to find healing and overcome the obstacles that life can put in our way. I enjoy seeing people use their own strengths to grow and live the life they imagine for themselves. My hope is for you to be able to find joy in life’s simple pleasures and cherish the precious moments that come along the way.
