My areas of specialization include trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and emotion dysregulation. I work with first responders, civilians, and veterans. If you feel like each day is a roller coaster and you would like to get off of the ride, I'm here to help!
I am trained in evidence-based practices that are research backed to improve functioning and wellbeing. I also believe in the importance of culturally responsive care where every client I work with feels seen, respected, and heard. I hope we can partner together to help you reach your goals!
