What do you need, and what stands in the way? We can figure it all out together. With 25+ years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals heal and discover effective therapy tools. My expertise spans anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, addictions, relationship issues, work-related stress, grief, negative body image, and eating disorders. Having worked extensively with military, law enforcement, and CAS, I offer therapy for uniformed personnel, first responders, CAS workers, and their families. I provide coaching to help clients achieve their life and career goals with regular check-ins to maintain motivation.
I bring a compassion-focused perspective and what clients describe as "bang-on clinical intuition and skillful techniques." I provide support for fellow therapists and mental health professionals for burnout and vicarious trauma. I also offer peer-consults (not supervision) to any mental health professionals who seek peer support and input.
Therapy isn't just about talking; it's about understanding yourself and others, improving your relationships, and making you feel that you matter. Also, please know you can not fail therapy. I am right here. Welcome!
