Welcome! Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and make yourself comfortable. Healing begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself, and my goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. With more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health, I help adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, substance use, process addictions, relationship challenges, and life's unexpected transitions. I also specialize in working with healthcare professionals, first responders, veterans, active-duty military, and military families, recognizing the unique stressors these roles often carry. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy isn't about "fixing" you it's about helping you understand your story, recognize your strengths, and build the confidence and skills to move forward. Every treatment plan is personalized using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR (EMDRIA Certified), CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy, to meet your individual needs and goals. Whether you're healing from trauma, working toward recovery, navigating burnout, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to do it alone. Together, we'll create a path toward greater resilience, healthier relationships, renewed purpose, and a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling. I'm honored to be part of your journey, and I look forward to meeting you.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself from the very beginning. Your first session is simply a conversation. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you're facing, your strengths, and what you hope to gain from the process. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, substance use, eating disorders, or navigating a difficult life transition, we'll begin building a plan that fits your unique needs. There is no pressure to share everything at once. Healing happens at your pace. My role is to listen, understand your story, answer your questions, and help you feel supported every step of the way. By the end of our first session, you'll have a better understanding of how we can work together, an initial roadmap for treatment, and most importantly a safe place where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to begin creating meaningful, lasting change. Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and let's start your journey toward healing together.
Healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a space where you can show up authentically without judgment and feel safe enough to explore life's most difficult challenges. With more than 20 years of behavioral health experience, I provide personalized, trauma-informed care that is tailored to your unique story, strengths, and goals. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, eating disorders, relationship concerns, and life transitions, while also serving healthcare professionals, first responders, veterans, active-duty military, and military families. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I integrate evidence-based therapies including EMDR, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to help clients heal from the past, build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're navigating trauma, recovery, burnout, or simply feeling stuck, my role is to walk alongside you with compassion, authenticity, and collaboration. Together, we'll build the insight, confidence, and tools you need to move beyond surviving and begin living with greater purpose, balance, and hope.
My clients are often people who are strong, capable, and high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. They may understand why they feel the way they do but struggle to create meaningful change. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by past experiences, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. I believe therapy works best when it is authentic, collaborative, and focused on the whole person not just a diagnosis. Together, we will explore your story, identify the patterns that may be holding you back, and develop tools to help you heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself. If you're ready to move beyond simply surviving and begin creating a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling, therapy can be the place where that journey begins.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to help clients develop practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping with life's challenges. By integrating mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, I provide clients with effective strategies to reduce unhelpful behaviors, build resilience, and create lasting change. I tailor DBT interventions to each individual's needs, with experience working with trauma, substance use, eating disorders, healthcare professionals, first responders, veterans, military members and families, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation.
EMDR
You don't have to keep reliving the past to heal from it. As an EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist, I use EMDR to help clients process traumatic experiences, painful memories, and deeply rooted negative beliefs that continue to impact their lives today. EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they become less emotionally overwhelming, allowing clients to move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and peace.
Narrative
Your story is more than what has happened to you it is also about the strength, resilience, and hope you carry forward. Using Narrative Therapy, I help clients separate themselves from the problems they face, challenge limiting beliefs, and rewrite the stories that have been shaped by trauma, addiction, relationships, or life transitions. Together, we uncover your strengths, reclaim your voice, and create a new narrative that reflects who you are today—not just what you've been through.
