Seeking therapy is a courageous step toward building resilience and finding steady ground. Whether you are navigating the lingering impacts of trauma, the daily friction of ADHD or addiction, or high-stress professional pressures, you don't have to do it alone. As a doctoral and masters-level counseling traumatologist (EdD, LPC, CCTP, ADHD) with a background in public safety and military service, I bring a compassionate, highly grounded perspective to care. I utilize tailored, evidence-based approaches—including CBT and trauma-informed care—to help you break free from distress and thrive. Schedule a virtual appointment instantly!
I believe effective therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Drawing from advanced doctoral training in trauma and systemic hypnotic/bilateral interventions, I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT and attachment-based frameworks to fit your unique needs. Due to my technology background in the Navy, I am proficient with most electronic environments.
Taking that first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to carry the weight alone. Reach out today to begin your journey toward a calmer, more resilient tomorrow. Your path to lasting change starts here—let's take that step together. If you have any small questions I'd be happy to assist you by emailing me!
