Feeling the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, or a major faith transition? Whether you are navigating religious deconstruction, managing PTSD, or trying to break addictive cycles, you don't have to carry it alone. Taking the first step into therapy requires immense courage, especially when you are feeling stuck or weighed down. I provide a collaborative, direct space where you can share your truth without fear of judgment, while being both deeply supported and intentionally challenged. Whatever your journey has looked like so far, you are welcome here.
My approach is shaped by both professional training and profound personal experience. Before entering the mental health field, I worked as a first responder, a chapter of my life that taught me the absolute value of a steady presence, quick adaptability, and deep compassion for individuals during their hardest moments. Additionally, having navigated my own personal journey through trauma and substance misuse, I understand firsthand the vulnerability it takes to step into a therapist's office. Because of this background, I offer my clients an authentic, nonjudgmental space mixed with a healthy dose of therapeutic humor and gentle accountability.
Alongside traditional therapy, I offer neurofeedback—a non-invasive approach that addresses the underlying brain dysregulation common to many mental health challenges by retraining neural pathways to shift away from automatic stress, mood, or behavioral loops. Together, let's build a resilient path forward.
