Thank you for visiting my site. After 35 years in public safety, I have seen firsthand how life’s stressors, traumatic experiences, and challenging interactions can lead to unwanted thoughts, emotions, and reactions. If you are seeking relief from the physical, mental, or spiritual pain you’re experiencing, know that healing is possible. Each of us carries the strength and capacity to move forward, and it takes courage to begin that journey. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward the peace and happiness you deserve.
I use the most current, evidence‑based approaches for trauma recovery and related mental health needs. I’m certified in CPT, ART, and IFS, allowing me to provide compassionate, effective, and individualized care that supports each client’s healing journey.
I’m honored each time someone invites me into their healing journey. This work humbles and inspires me, and I would welcome the chance to support you as you move toward greater peace and well‑being.

"
I use an Integrative Approach to Therapy 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. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
