A mentor once told me, "We can't negotiate the terms of our own surrender," and that has framed my approach toward acceptance and healing as we live life on life's terms. Sometimes we need to take a step back to reflect on a new way to approach situations when "our way" seems to be getting in our way. I invite you to bring awareness to what brought you to this page and if the above message resonates, let's chat.
I approach treatment with insight oriented, experience-based, social learning models for you to heal and grow. I have extensive experience working with military and veteran populations to support transition, Veteran Affairs navigation, substance use, anxiety, stress management, emotional regulation, and trauma.
After completing my time in the United States Marine Corps, I began my therapeutic journey after years of battling my own issues. I seek to support others by use of compassion, personal connection, and a judgment free relationship that we will build during our work together. I look forward to working with you.
