My preferred clients are adults and older adolescents who have varied needs to include trauma recovery, LGBTQ+, veterans, and couples therapy. I am a military veteran so have a true understanding of military issues. I am not afraid of complex issues or socially "taboo" topics. I appreciate clients who are invested in bettering themselves, are inquisitive, and willing to learn. If you are a person who wants an open, honest, therapist who will ask you to question yourself in order to learn and grow then I may be what you're seeking. I am in-network with BCBS and TriWest.
I have been working in behavioral health and counseling since 2014 and am independently licensed, and nationally certified. I am trained in EMDR and have been providing this amazing intervention for two years.
I am passionate about helping others become their best selves. With a background in trauma informed care, I understand how experiences shape us. As a military veteran I have the ability to support people who have gone through hardship. I have an interesting and varied personal history which helps me better understand a wide range of people and experiences.

I primarily use EMDR, Choice theory, and ACT to identify the patterns and events that have made you who you are. EMDR allows me to treat trauma without requiring you to re-tell it over and over. Our first sessions will explore if EMDR is right for you and discuss what your expectations are for therapy. We'll explore you worldview and how we can bring you closer to that worldview.
