A partnership in growth: If you feel like you are currently living in a 'constant spiral'—where one stressor bleeds into the next until you feel physically and emotionally exhausted—I want you to know that you don't have to navigate that path alone. I specialize in helping individuals move from a state of 'survival mode' into a life of clarity and intention. Whether you are navigating the heavy weight of past trauma, the complexities of family dynamics, or the high-pressure demands of your career, my goal is to provide you with a grounded, non-judgmental space to exhale.
I find it incredibly rewarding to support veterans and first responders. Given my background as a retired violent crimes detective, I bring a unique perspective to my trauma-informed practice, ensuring a shared understanding of the challenges my clients face.
Having stood on both sides of the room, I understand the unique pressure that comes with serving others, as well as the quiet strength it takes to finally prioritize yourself. My goal is to work alongside you, utilizing specialized training and a genuine human connection to help you find a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.

Extensive Trauma-Informed Care Trauma doesn't just live in your memories; it lives in your body. My approach is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, meaning I prioritize your safety and pacing above all else. We will work to "reboot" your nervous system, moving you out of the constant fight-or-flight response and back into a state of calm.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify the "all-or-nothing" thought patterns that keep you stuck. We'll look at the intersection of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find the leverage points where you can actually make a change.
