I believe overall wellness is essential to living a fulfilling and balanced life. My background includes working with both individuals and families, which has given me a deep understanding of relational dynamics, personal growth, and the ways our environments shape us. Over time, I chose to focus exclusively on individual counseling so I can work more deeply one-on-one with clients as they navigate personal challenges, strengthen resilience, and move toward meaningful, lasting mor than 20 years of experience in law enforcement, I bring a grounded, practical, and straightforward approach to therapy.
I integrate evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). DBT skills can help you develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective interpersonal strategies. Through EFT interventions, we explore underlying emotions and attachment patterns to create deeper self-awareness.
Your first session will focus on understanding what brings you to therapy and where you feel stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll clarify what you’d like to change and establish a shared, purposeful goal so our work feels collaborative and intentional from the start.
