Work together to overcome whatever it is that’s getting the best of you. I partner with you to go from “WTF happened?!” To “I got this!”.

What sets me apart is that I'm a combat veteran and trauma survivor. I struggled in ways like too many of us do. That's why this isn't "Just a job" for me. I get it, and I can meet you where you are because I've walked in those shoes myself.
My goal is to help you achieve optimal mental health, increased vitality, and emotional well-being. Together, we will identify what shapes you, and your emotional patterns, and help you live by the values that are meaningful to you.

My approach begins with the understanding that I am an advocate for the values of self-determination and autonomy. It is because I have great respect for the dignity and worth of all people that I am able to come alongside you on this journey.
Work to identify strategies and techniques that can begin to offer some relief. We will also begin to alter problematic/less functional narratives that negatively impact your life. Self-compassion is a skill that I work on with almost every client.

It is my responsibility to pay attention to the big picture- noting common themes that come up. Often concerns that we have present differently across different domains (work, home, etc.) but the emotional underpinnings and impact can be similar.
I am a client-centered therapist but I do not sit in silence - I am active and will "be with you" in whatever you bring to therapy. I won't share much about myself, but I promise to be human with you. We will work toward what is most important to you

I use humor when appropriate and don't assign random "homework" just because in therapy - I do however recommend activities, books, and podcasts for use in between sessions when appropriate and specific to a client's goals.
I can help you figure out why you keep saying "it is what it is" instead of actually doing the work to shift whatever "it" is. We will identify whatever is keeping you stuck and work together to get you on a new path towards healing and happiness.

I approach my work with honor, however I also hold my clients accountable. Clients in the past have called me a "hardass" (and thanked me for it) because I call BS when I hear it, and I expect my clients to work harder than me in their own healing.
