I have a keen understanding of moral injury as I specialize in the unique needs of the law enforcement community. My goal is to help people live to their full potential through the power of therapy. My approach in any therapy session is to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment to allow people to fully express themselves. My experience in the mental healthcare field is expansive having treated a wide array of complex human issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. My role as a therapist is to assist people in overcoming barriers that might be preventing them from living life to their full potential.

Welcome! You have taken the first step into discovering the importance of your mental well-being. Life is filled with unexpected challenges and often we have difficulty facing them. This is where having a safe space and a non-judgmental therapeutic environment can assist with your journey towards increased wellness. My specialties are Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, and Workplace/Caregiver Stressors.

Navigating life and its various challenges is nothing short of arduous. The demands that we encounter daily can seem burdensome and tedious; overwhelm us to the point where we feel like we are stuck or incapable of coping. In fact, managing our diverse roles and responsibilities let alone, our well-being becomes grueling. So, what do you do? Well, by seeking counseling you have already taken the first step. As your therapist, we will work together to address your concerns and formulate a plan of action. I believe in an eclectic, integrative approach in the therapies I employ.

I see therapy as a collaborative effort between client and therapist that takes into consideration an individuals unique life experiences, personal hardships, cultural background and personality to gain better understanding while also taking a good look at thoughts, emotions and behaviors together to create a plan of action that reduces distress and empowers you, the client, to achieve the attainable goals they set for themselves.

Life is far from perfect; it can be hard, painful, and disappointing, to say the least. It doesn't have to stay that way though. If you are tired of your thoughts bringing you down, want to break out of negative relationship patterns, and/or want to step into your future without carrying the pain of your past, then you’re in the right place. While I offer safety and support in therapy like most therapists, I will also challenge you, with empathy and kindness, to look deeply at yourself and your situation to see where change can be made. Don't keep suffering when help is available now. After all, nothing changes if nothing changes.
