People deserve to feel seen and have space to show up as their most authentic selves. In my therapeutic approach, I prioritize building a safe, compassionate, and honest environment that empowers clients to create meaningful change, foster resiliency, and utilize practical tools to navigate trauma and stressors in daily living. With that, I also encourage laughter, directness, and connection- I want to ensure that therapy feels supportive and honest. Healing is not a linear process, and I strive to walk alongside my clients with empathy and transparency, meeting them where they are while challenging them to grow. My experience is heavily rooted in chronic illness, disability, PTSD, veterans, active-duty military, and first responders, elite performers (college and semi-professional athletes), and queer folks and communities. I have a background in vocational rehabilitation, mental performance counseling, crisis counseling, trauma work, and a certification in EMDR. I have also completed training in individual and group crisis management. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can share your story, gain clarity, and feel seen as the person you truly are and want to be. Whether you're dealing with PTSD, burnout, or just trying to reconnect with who you are outside of the uniform, you’ll be met with empathy, respect, and a warm cup of coffee—every time.
