Healing from trauma is possible. As a licensed psychotherapist and Afghanistan veteran, I offer a unique blend of talk therapy and somatic practices like yoga and meditation to guide you towards recovery and resilience. Whether you're struggling with the aftermath of trauma, addiction, or narcissistic abuse, I'm here to support you on your journey. I also provide DOT SAP evaluations for transportation professionals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Do you ever feel like you're constantly criticizing yourself or pushing yourself too hard? Many of us develop these patterns out of fear, but they can leave us feeling exhausted and disconnected. I help you understand these patterns, reconnect with your true self, and find a more balanced and fulfilling way of living.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My journey as a combat veteran and my own deep dive into healing have given me a unique understanding of trauma. I connect with clients from a place of shared experience and offer a precise, multi-faceted approach to recovery. With over 10 certifications in trauma, addiction, and grief counseling, I'm here to guide you towards a life of greater peace and well-being.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT helps us be with our emotions and take actions based on what is important. it is a great tool that I like to use in conjunction with IFS and meditation.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness and meditation helps us change the way we react to our emotions. As a yoga teacher and meditation coach, I use mindfulness and meditation to help us be nonjudgmental and be with our emotions rather than be "fused" with them. I am also a 500 hour yoga teacher and registered in IREST which is modern Yoga Nidra. It is a meditation practice that is helpful in healing trauma. It is used in the military and the VA.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I think it's important that we recognize the the thoughts that stressful events cause. I believe these events cause these thoughts that can change the way we see the world and ourselves. CPT, I believe, can be sued in conjunction with mindfulness and IFS to help us change and ease our parts we want to heal.
EMDR
I am currently becoming certified in EMDR. EMDR is an approach to help a person process a traumatic event better. I am typically going to use IFS and meditations approaches to lead up to EMDR in it's 8 phases.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems Therapy is a treatment therapy that involves looking at different parts of ourselves to treat our traumas.
