About

Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or overly clinical. My office is a relaxed, cozy space filled with vintage novelties, therapy puns, and a "come as you are” vibe, because healing happens best when you don’t have to censor yourself. I’m passionate about supporting individuals through identity exploration, trauma, self-harm, suicide prevention, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As a veteran and first responder, I value working with individuals who share similar lived experiences and understand the impact of high-stress roles. My background as a first responder means I don't shy away from hard conversations. I believe mental health should be normalized and not overcomplicated. I bring a calm, grounded presence into the room, even when things get heavy. I'm warm, validating, and supportive, but I'm also comfortable being straightforward, honest, and direct when it matters. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and practical.
