I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma from both military and civilian experiences. With a neuroscience background, I take a neuro-informed approach to healing, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help clients reframe thought patterns and strengthen neural connections. Together, we’ll focus on building coping skills, fostering self-awareness, and promoting emotional regulation to overcome PTSD, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and life transitions. My goal is to empower resilience, guide healing from past wounds, and support the rebuilding of self-esteem.
Working at Heart of Peace counseling, I provide trauma-focused care and support for anxiety and depression in a secure and nurturing environment. As a veteran, I deeply understand the military mental health challenges and specialize in helping individuals with personality disorders, depression, and those navigating the pain of trauma with empathy and care.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, or depression? You're not alone. As a compassionate LCSW, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can heal and thrive. Together, we’ll navigate life’s challenges. Let’s take this journey toward wellness together—reach out today and take the first step.
