Life can feel heavy when you’ve been carrying things on your own or trying to make sense of experiences that don’t easily fit into words. I offer a space that is steady, collaborative, and human, where you don’t have to have everything figured out or present yourself in a certain way to be understood.
I’m a licensed clinician committed to trauma-informed, culturally responsive care that honors the full context of a person’s life, not just their symptoms. My approach is rehabilitative and strengths-based, focusing on how we can work creatively with your environment and experiences rather than trying to change your uniqueness to fit external expectations. I also place a strong emphasis on helping people reconnect with and build confidence in their existing strengths.
I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, interpersonal trauma, codependency, and relationship recovery. I also have extensive experience supporting active duty service members and veterans navigating related traumas, moral injury, and the challenges of reintegration, as well as individuals working through identity shifts.
In session, we focus on understanding patterns, strengthening emotional awareness, and making sense of what you’ve been carrying in ways that feel relevant and usable in daily life. My style is grounded, relational, and collaborative, with attention to how environment, relationships, and lived experience shape mental health.
I am a strong fit for individuals seeking affirming, compassionate care that feels real and accessible, not overly clinical or distant. Together, we work to create space for new ways of navigating life, relationships, and purpose.
