Introduction

I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find their way through difficult times. I see therapy as a journey of self-discovery and healing. Just as navigational tools help steer through stormy seas, I believe that support and guidance are vital for anyone facing mental health struggles. Together, we can chart a path toward brighter days and personal growth. I offer a diverse range of clinical specialties, including trauma treatment and play therapy, providing evidence-based treatment customized to each individual's unique needs. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, creating a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere that fosters self-awareness and personal growth. As a Navy veteran and retired military spouse, I possess a deep understanding of the military community and I am dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey towards healing and transformation. I provide virtual and in-person appointments. I eagerly anticipate hearing your unique story and collaborating with you to navigate your journey towards mental wellness.
