I specialize in working with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I also have experience treating addiction, personality disorders, and mood disorders. It’s incredibly meaningful to help clients reclaim their quality of life by working through overwhelming and intrusive thoughts. I often incorporate humor into sessions, using it as a tool to ease tension and foster a relaxed, supportive environment.

My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and grounded in trust. I focus on helping you clarify your goals and develop a path forward that feels both realistic and empowering. I meet every individual and relationship without judgment and aim to support open, honest communication, whether you’re coming to therapy as an individual, a couple, or in a family context.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I have worked with diverse populations, including veterans, first responders, and the LGBTQ+/SOGI community. I’m committed to providing a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for healing, growth, and self-discovery.
