Get To Know Me
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
My primary aim is to empower you to eventually no longer need my services. I focus on fostering independent growth and helping you apply the skills we explore together, so you feel increasingly confident navigating everyday life. Typically, we begin with weekly sessions until you are seeing progress and gain self‑assurance, then we'll transition to bi‑weekly or monthly meetings. Ultimately, I strive to become a lasting resource you can turn to whenever you need support in the future.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
I want you to feel that we’re working together as partners toward the goals you bring to therapy. Periodically I’ll check in to confirm we’re staying aligned with those objectives, and I encourage you to let me know anytime you disagree with something or would like to adjust our approach. Your comfort and input are essential to shaping a collaborative therapeutic process.

Work HistoryI left active‑duty service roughly eight years ago and then began my career in mental health. Since then, I’ve supported individuals across many settings including suicide‑prevention hotlines, inpatient psychiatric units, and correctional facilities. Those experiences have taught me how to create a truly safe space for clients, allowing me to sit with and help them articulate painful emotions and experiences that are often hard to express.
