At Outside the Wall Counseling Services, our name reflects our mission: helping individuals move beyond the internal and external barriers that limit healing, growth, and connection. We provide a safe, supportive space where resilience can be strengthened and meaningful change can take root.

Over the years, I have worked across diverse clinical settings, including Intensive In-Community (IIC) services in the home, therapeutic group homes, trauma-informed hospital environments, and with individuals with developmental disabilities...to name a few. Alongside clinical practice, I have also engaged in community-based outreach supporting veterans and unhoused individuals, including efforts connected to homeless veteran populations as well as food and clothing drives. These experiences have strengthened a grounded, adaptable approach that responds to complex needs with compassion and practicality.

I welcome clients of all ages, identities, and backgrounds. As a U.S. Navy Veteran, I bring both professional training and lived understanding of the unique stressors faced by service members, veterans, and their families.  Outside the Wall Counseling Services is also proud to be a VA Community Care Network (CCN) Provider, helping eligible Veterans access mental health services through the VA Community Care Program. 

My work is guided by ethical, evidence-based practice and a collaborative, strengths-focused approach. Therapy here is centered on helping clients build insight, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward goals that are meaningful to them.

At Outside the Wall Counseling Services, I am committed to walking alongside you in the process of growth, recovery, and change.
