I bring a compassionate and structured approach to therapy, with expertise in addressing social anxiety, trauma recovery, mood disorders, and interpersonal challenges. My work is particularly attuned to the unique needs of older adults, veterans, and individuals experiencing significant life transitions. My therapeutic approach is grounded in understanding each person's individual journey. I offer supportive guidance for those struggling with panic disorders, attachment issues, workplace stress, and personal development. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, relationship difficulties, or seeking clarity in your life's purpose, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional insight.
