Are these experiences now impacting your sense of self or your relationships? Has a significant life transition left you feeling stressed? Are you now seeing the impact of transgenerational patterns and trauma and want to heal? Sometimes using our coping skills and self-care rituals aren’t enough to manage our emotional pain. Sometimes we know what we need to thrive but aren’t sure how to get it. I’d like to help you find what you need within yourself.

Are you are feeling overwhelmed and need to talk it out, then I’m here to listen. Are you dealing with some really thought life events?Are you or your child struggling with the “what ifs?” I understand that we all have our daily struggles as we move through life. Sometimes we wonder if we are doing it right or making the best choices. Let me offer my time, empathy and skills to help you navigate this world. I offer a safe space, free from judgement to help you or your child find that unique balance that can create a more fuffilling purpose.

I am a clinician to first responders. It is my objective to support the quality of life, relationships and careers of those who dedicate their lives to the service of their community. It is my view that a hero's career should not cost them their life or family and that of equal importance their life and family should not negatively impact their career.

If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you as a team to achieve your goals.

During stressful times, constant worrying, anxiety, anger, and sadness surface and cause disruption with relationships, sleep, eating habits, and health. I strongly believe in the mind and body connection and, with help, stress can be an opportunity for emotional growth. I utilize my clinical experience and evidence-based therapeutic interventions to motivate clients and families towards their own emotional growth. I tailor various therapeutic approaches according to what works for my client and what my client needs to meet their goals.

One of the most important lessons I have learned as a therapist is that therapy requires more than a one size fits all approach. I treat every person as an individual. I lean on my years of experience and use a multitude of treatment modalities to treat your individual needs. We can work together to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. I have treated individuals with a variety of issues, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, dissociative identity disorder, substance abuse disorders, anger, and more. I have also helped families and couples achieve harmony and improve their relationships and communication.

**Not currently accepting new patients.** I work with adult clients (over age 21) who come to treatment looking to heal from the effects of trauma. Although most of my work is with military and first responders (police, fire) who are having difficulty in their lives after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic or life-threatening event, I also treat civilians with a history of trauma experiences such as sexual assault, physical assault, motor vehicle accidents, terrorist attacks, workplace violence, and a variety of other life-altering incidents.

I am here to support you! You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. We all face challenges and may experience unexpected life events that have the capacity to set us back. Difficult emotions can be challenging to manage and can interfere with a variety of aspects of a person's life. I will help you to alleviate unwanted symptoms to improve functioning, improve interaction patterns, and help to understand and resolve challenges. Whether you are seeking extra support through a challenging situation or are looking to head in a new direction, I look forward to collaborating with you on your goals.
