As a therapist, and veteran, I’ve dedicated my life to supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. My journey has been shaped by the strength and resilience of those I’ve had the honor to serve, from fellow veterans and first responders to individuals seeking healing from trauma and personal hardship.

My approach blends empathy, respect, and practical guidance, creating a space where clients feel understood and empowered.
