I work with adults and couples who are ready to address challenges such as trauma, conflict, communication issues, and discernment/relationship ending. I has over 15 years of experience working with military, veterans, and first responders and also specializes in treating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, major life transitions, and relational/familial concerns. I tailor therapy to meet the unique needs of each client, using a blend of approaches including CBT, Internal Family Systems, and the Gottman Method. I embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion, and welcomes individuals and couples from all backgrounds.
I tailor therapy to each client’s needs, prioritizing honest communication and mutual accountability. I foster a collaborative environment, where both client and therapist are held responsible for the progress made. My approach is compassionate, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices that empower lasting change.
I specialize in treating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, major life transitions (career, retirement), and relationship challenges. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Gottman Method to help clients address their issues. My work with military, veterans, and first responders is particularly informed by practice
