About
As a former first responder and United States Army veteran, I have had the privilege of serving others in some of the most challenging environments. This journey has shaped my deep understanding of trauma, addiction, and personality disorders, and I’m eager to apply my experiences to help those who are navigating their own struggles.
As a former first responder and United States Army veteran, I have had the privilege of serving others in some of the most challenging environments.
My time in the military and as a first responder has given me a unique perspective on the challenges people face when dealing with trauma. I have an eclectic approach that is centered in trauma-informed care, person-centered, with humor injected into my interactions with clients.
First session
My clients can expect professionalism, warmth, and direct, clear communication in our initial interactions. During the course of the therapeutic growth, they can also expect being challenged, the chance to take on new, more healthy perspectives, and have a better idea of not only what they want for themselves, but also raise their standards.
Strengths
My strengths are based in my ability to connect with all walks of life. I have had many lives and many masters; and I use this life experience as a way to connect with nearly everybody. There is no subject that is too off the wall, irreverent, or taboo. I provide a judgement-free zone where self-censorship is unnecessary.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are those who are willing to ask themselves the more beautiful question; in other words, those clients who are curious about themselves and how they relate to and interact with the world are going to get more answers, and I am here to help facilitate that process. My hope for my clients is that they are not just completing their goals, but also to experience a soul-shaping interaction with someone who is more than just a body behind a desk or face behind a screen.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I use Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to help my clients address various types of trauma and related symptoms from across the lifespan.
Attachment-based
My goal is not to tell you who you are, but to help you better understand yourself so that you can make choices that align with your values and build a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling. If you decide to take that step, I would be honored to help you make sense of what you’re carrying and walk alongside you in the process of healing.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Together, we explore the emotional weight people often carry in silence, whether that involves childhood experiences, relationship struggles, unresolved grief, trauma, or barriers to vulnerability and connection. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, relationship trauma, emotional avoidance, and intimacy.
