I specialize in supporting First Responders and individuals who work in high stress, high impact roles. My background includes 20 years as an EMT/Firefighter (primarily volunteer), 15 years in Emergency Management, and 30 years in law enforcement across both county and city departments. These experiences allow me to understand the unique pressures, culture, and unspoken expectations that come with serving others. I am a state registered provider for drug and alcohol assessments and treatment.
I primarily treat adults and also have experience working with adolescents. My work spans preventive care, crisis intervention, and post crisis recovery, with an emphasis on early identification of emotional concerns before they escalate. My approach blends Positive Psychology, CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused work.
I believe therapy is your space and your story. You decide what matters most, and I help you explore it with clarity and compassion. I draw from my own diverse experiences to relate to clients, and when your experience is different from mine, I listen deeply to understand your world and how it has shaped you.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their family or critical incidents. 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 and Brain Spotting 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. With Brain Spotting we can neutralize negative emotions.
