The challenges we face in life are not meant to be tackled alone. Lets work together to guide you towards a place of freedom, peace, and understanding. Having both lived experience, being a person in long term recovery, coupled with 16 years of working in mental health clinical and hospital settings, gives me a unique perspective into the struggles one can face both mentally and physically. I place great importance on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, and have seen this play out successfully in the lives of the thousands of clients I have treated over the years. We Do Recover!
My specialties include working with Veterans and First Responders, as I personally know the load you are carrying. I offer a private, safe, and supportive environment, to process acute and past traumatic events of any kind. I also specialize in treating Mood and Personality Disorders, Addiction, Adolescents, Families, Couples, and Sports Performance issues.
First and foremost, regardless if you choose to book with me, I want you to know you are not alone, nor do you have to continue suffering in silence. I know personally how hard taking that first step to ask for help can be. Likewise, I know how beneficial it can be once you have done so and gotten the help you need. Help is just a click away! Lets talk!

I work with many clients who are suffering with a multitude of co-occurring symptoms related to experiencing severe trauma or severe mental health challenges. I work with my clients by first getting know them, really listening to them. We then work together, at their pace, to formulate a treatment plan that works for them. Many report reduced symptoms in a just a few sessions. Many do recover.
