What's My Approach to Therapy?
My approach to healing is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and practical support. With over 25 years of experience, I believe healing begins when you feel heard, understood, and respected. I strive to create a safe and trusting space where we can work through challenges together. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, helping you move forward from past experiences, develop healthier patterns, and find meaning in life’s transitions. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I bring a steady, compassionate presence, and a commitment to helping you create lasting, positive change.

I also help clients struggling with ADHD, anger management, addiction, and substance use. My practice includes working with caregivers, veterans, first responders, and individuals facing workplace stress or relational conflict.
