"As someone who has navigated trauma in my own life and military service, I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to therapy, meeting clients where they are and walking with them at a pace that feels safe and collaborative."

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 7 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and veterans who are navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, and the lasting impact of past experiences. Many of the people I work with are seeking understanding, emotional balance, and a steady, supportive space where they can explore what they have been carrying and begin to heal.

I earned my master’s in social work from Virginia Commonwealth University. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply trauma informed. I draw from internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing to help clients process difficult experiences, and build grounding skills.

I am here with care, curiosity, and respect as you take steps toward feeling more grounded and whole. When you are ready, I would be honored to walk with you on your path forward.
