Our work together won't be traditional talk therapy. As a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I'm trained to listen to what your body is holding, not just what your mind can put into words. I also draw on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (currently in IFS Level 1), and Brainspotting to gently process past trauma and restore your capacity for safety, connection, and ease. I specialize in complex PTSD (c-PTSD), anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and OCD, with a focus on the effects of childhood trauma, emotional abuse, and relational wounds. I offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD and anxiety.

I work with clients that are questioning and struggling in their relationships. How are you managing stress, anxiety, worries that you believe are created by a partner, family member, yourself or situation? Are you questioning whether or not to end your relationship because it feels "maddening," do you feel like you’re repeating negative patterns in your life with others, with yourself? Is fear and anxiety holding you back from being the "real" you and from making the changes to create the life and relationship you deserve and respect? Or are you in deep grief over a loss? These indeed are the reasons people seek counseling with me.

I have more than 30 years of experience with the 12-Step approach to recovery, which has given me deep empathy for those struggling with addiction. My personal journey has fueled a strong passion to help others find hope and healing. While the 12-Step program is valuable, I understand that recovery is not the same for everyone, and different approaches may be needed. I served 20 years in the United States Air Force and supported Operation Enduring Freedom. As a veteran, I care deeply about issues affecting veterans and remain committed to helping those, especially veterans, who are working to overcome addiction.
