Welcome—and thank you for taking this meaningful step toward your mental and emotional well-being.
Starting therapy can bring up a mix of feelings: hope, uncertainty, maybe even a bit of nervousness. That’s completely normal. I want you to know that you’re not alone in this process. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy, clarity, and support as we work toward the changes and healing you're seeking.
I bring over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, especially those connected to military life and service. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Psychology, I draw from a strong foundation in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, Acceptance Commitment therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches help us explore patterns of thinking, behavior, and emotion—and equip you with practical tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and build resilience.
In our sessions, you can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where we collaborate to understand what’s going on beneath the surface. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, I tailor our work to fit your unique needs and goals. Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, and together we'll find the pace and approach that feels right for you.
I'm here to support your growth and healing, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin this journey. If you have any questions or would like to talk more about what to expect, I’m always happy to connect.
Looking forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
