As an AMFT specializing in treating stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma, I help children, teens, and adults move from "alarm mode" to stability. My background in firefighting and fire prevention informs my clinical approach: we prioritize immediate stabilization before reinforcing the structural integrity of your mental health. Whether I am helping a child regulate big emotions or guiding a couple through high-conflict cycles, my goal is to identify "fire hazards" in your life and build a blueprint for resilience. Let’s move past the crisis and equip you with the tools to stay grounded and secure.
Drawing on my background as a firefighter and prevention, I combine real-world life experience with clinical expertise. Having walked through hardships myself, I offer a grounded, empathetic perspective on recovery. I specialize in trauma-informed therapeutic approaches designed to help you process the past and build a resilient future. Let's heal together.
I know reaching out is hard; stigma and fear often stand in the way. But you don't have to fight alone. You deserve a compassionate ally to stand in your corner and chart a path toward healing. If you’re ready for a partner in your recovery, please click the website button to schedule a free consultation. Let’s start this journey together.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
