I would love to offer you tools to become an active agent in bettering your life and mental health. Are you enduring grief alone? Are you a first responder or soldier who has suffered trauma? Then I understand how challenging it can be to navigate these emotions. My lived life experience includes being a Firefighter/Paramedic for 16 years in a very busy, very diverse, metropolitan department. I am very familiar with first responders and their struggles and would like to offer the opportunity to de-stigmatize mental health for firefighters, police officers and soldiers.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). CBT works on the premise that all emotions comes from our mind and the way in which we think about the specific situation. This creates our behavior. EMDR works specifically by using bilateral stimulation while processing traumatic memories.
Faith and humor are also great tools to improve our mindset and outlook. So, how is your faith? When is the last time you laughed? Remember, it’s all about perspective! Life happens, so how are you going to handle it? If any of the above resonates with you, give me a call and let’s start a conversation! Your strength and resilience may surprise you!

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
