Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

I started my journey in social work nearly 20 years ago, after serving in the military and utilizing my GI Bill to fund my education. My career has taken me through some incredibly challenging environments: from jails to supporting homeless families, and working closely with individuals battling addiction or navigating severe mental health crises.

Through every experience, I've consistently witnessed something profound: the unwavering hope, incredible resilience, and fierce dedication people possess to fight for and reclaim the lives they envision. This deep understanding of human strength, even in the most difficult circumstances, is what I bring to every session.
