Some people who experience trauma may struggle with memories and thoughts about the event. They may have nightmares or feel angry all the time. They may want to avoid thinking about the trauma or encountering things that remind them of it. While it may feel better momentarily, avoidance of the trauma can keep you stuck from recovering from PTSD. As a certified trauma therapist, I offer a treatment that helps heal PTSD in 12-15 sessions. I specialize in working with first responders & veterans and am extensively trained to work with the unique challenges they face, however, I work with all forms of trauma.

My passion is to help those that have experienced stress, depression, anxiety, and disruptive disorders. The ultimate goal is to assist you with reaching your full potential along with providing tools that can promote the healing process.

Somethings can be so sensitive or difficult we cannot talk to those who are involved. Maybe we need to discuss issues with those we are closest to us but can't or don't know how without causing conflict. At times we need someone who will listen judgment free. Relationships (self and with others) become “complicated” and impact our ability to function in our lives and cause distress and/or dysfunction often leading to poor coping and adapting skills, leading to depression, anxiety, suicide idealization, etc. Our sessions end organically. Our focus is on you and not arbitrary time restraints.

We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.” ― Steve Maraboli. I am pleased that you have chosen me to assist you on this journey.

Struggles in life are not a matter of if, but when. They also come in a multitude of severity and nearly every one of will, at some point, need help from outside sources.

Stressful life experiences will have lasting impacts that can leave an individual feeling out-of-control and powerless. I specialize in trauma related stress while encouraging clients to identify the connection between mind and body. I like to help clients discover the core of the problem that is leading to depression, anxiety, depleted self esteem, or relationship issues. I emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship and provide a space that is safe and inclusive.

Life problems can create feelings of depression, loneliness, hopelessness, and anxiety. In therapy we explore the reasons for self-defeating behavior. As we become more aware of what we do and why, we can begin to make the necessary changes for a happier, more fulfilling life.

Life is challenging. Everyone experiences life events expected and unexpected. As a therapist I believe in partnering with each client to assist them in identifying their specifics needs and goals to meet the identified needs for treatment success. I engage clients in a supportive and sensitive manner, yet I challenge clients to move them from their comfort zone to encourage their personal and professional growth.
