Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when past experiences still shape how you see yourself and relate to others. You may find yourself repeating painful relationship patterns, struggling to trust, feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions, or finding it hard to say what you need. I’ve worked with people navigating trauma and PTSD, substance use and addiction, and co-occurring mental health concerns. I also have a long history of supporting veterans and their families.

My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Our closest relationships shape how we understand ourselves, set boundaries, and handle hard emotions. As a certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) professional, I bring in evidence-based skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. I tailor this to each person, and we work at a pace that respects your experiences and readiness for change.

Together, we’ll work toward a better understanding of yourself, stronger relationships with yourself and others, and the skills and confidence to meet life’s challenges. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d welcome the chance to hear your story and explore how we can work toward the changes you want to make.
