Hi, I'm glad you're here.
I'm a trauma-informed, relational therapist who believes that healing happens through connection, compassion, and feeling truly seen. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just not yourself, you don't have to go through it alone.
I work with caregivers and parents, veterans, and helping professionals - people who often carry a lot for others and may find it hard to care for themselves. Many of my clients are navigating stress, burnout, trauma, anxiety, or big life changes. Together, we'll explore the patterns that shape your experience and create space for growth, clarity, and healing.
My approach is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and respect. I see therapy as a collaborative space where you can be your full self without judgement. I'll meet you with compassion while supporting you in building insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
Specialties include:
-Trauma and PTSD
-Stress and burnout
-Compassion fatigue
-Anxiety
-Life transitions
-Parenting and caregiver support
-Support for helping professionals
-Teen and adolescent concerns
-Veteran and military transition support
-Resilience building
Populations I support:
-Teens and young adults
-Parents and caregivers
-Veterans and military-connected individuals
-Helping professionals (therapists, educators, healthcare workers, etc)
-Individuals experiencing burnout of vicarious trauma
-People navigating loss, trauma, or major life changes
Beginning this journey can feel overwhelming, but choosing to reach out is truly courageous. I'm here to support you whenever you're ready to begin.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
