As a Licensed Psychologist providing individual therapy is one of the ways I give back. I find the work deeply meaningful and rewarding, as it allows me to empower others to improve their lives. My enthusiasm for helping people gives me a strong sense of purpose as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist.

My favorite clients are those who genuinely want help, are open to change, and are willing to take action to improve their circumstances. Collaborating with motivated individuals who approach challenges with an open mind and courage makes the therapeutic process enjoyable and productive. I am inspired by clients who are brave enough to take steps toward positive change, and I find great satisfaction in helping them help themselves.

I work with clients of various ages and address a wide range of issues. My specialties include supporting adults, teens, and pre-teens who struggle with anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, low self-confidence, ADHD, panic disorder, and difficulties adjusting to challenging situations and life stressors. I also assist clients dealing with relationship concerns, parenting challenges, autism, and goal attainment.

Coaching and Career Support
In addition to therapy, I enjoy offering life coaching and career coaching. Helping young people find clarity in their career paths is especially fulfilling to me. I am passionate about guiding individuals as they navigate uncertainties and work toward personal and professional growth.

My interests extend to providing support for various groups, including our nation’s military members, first responders, medical professionals, entrepreneurs, business professionals, educators, therapists, and tradespeople—all of whom play vital roles in our society.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, my goal is to empower clients to not only cope but thrive during difficult times. I specialize in therapy for adults, teens, and pre-teens facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-confidence, and significant life transitions. Through my work, I strive to inspire meaningful change and support individuals from all walks of life in reaching their full potential.

I have decades of experience in a variety of mental health and educational settings. I am also a Veteran and the Founder & CEO of two award winning mental health centers with 150 employees. Later, I started Hope Rising Psychology and with my education and experience combined with research based interventions I want to give you hope that you will find a brighter day!
