I’m a compassionate, solution-oriented therapist with 19 years of experience helping people navigate challenges, build insight, and move toward meaningful change. As a veteran, I have a deep appreciation for the experiences and perspectives of those who have served, and I especially enjoy working with veterans and their families.

My approach is grounded in talk therapy and genuine human connection. I take time to understand each patient as a whole person—not just the problem that brought them to therapy. I believe people often carry valuable insight and the beginnings of a solution within themselves. My role is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help uncover the strengths, perspectives, and possibilities that can support their next steps.

While I have extensive experience working with individuals affected by addiction, I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and concerns. Together, we can identify practical, meaningful ways to create progress and help you feel more grounded, capable, and connected to the life you want to live.
