I enjoy working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relational challenges, identity questions, and life transitions. I am especially interested in how early relationships and attachment patterns shape the way we understand ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world; often in ways we don’t fully realize until something starts to feel stuck. I also have a growing curiosity about neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism, and I am actively seeking to deepen my understanding in order to better support individuals navigating these experiences.
My counseling approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in interpersonal and attachment-based perspectives. I draw on psychodynamic and narrative frameworks, believing that people are not problems to be solved but individuals whose stories make sense within the contexts in which they were formed. Therapy, to me, is less about “fixing” and more about slowing down enough to notice patterns, name what’s been carried, and create space for something different. I aim to be a steady, grounded presence in the room; someone who will walk alongside you, not ahead of you, especially when things feel uncertain, heavy, or hard to put into words.
Outside of the therapy room, I value time with family, meaningful conversations, and the kind of rest that actually restores you (which, if I’m being honest, often includes a strong cup of coffee).
I am a Veteran with 7.5 years of service in the United States Marine Corps and have worked in protective services, experiences that continue to shape my ability to remain present, grounded, and steady in high-stress or uncertain situations. I consider it a privilege to sit with clients in their stories and to support them as they move toward greater clarity, healing, and growth, at a pace that feels real and sustainable.
