    Whether you are a caregiver focused on the care of others, a high-achieving executive leader trying to manage the day-to-day without everything unraveling, or you are navigating a new medical diagnosis, including pregnancy or cancer, and aren't certain what comes next, I am here to help. I support people who feel like the world will fall apart if they let up the pressure they are holding, even for a moment—the "I'll just do it myself, I don't want to be a burden, I can't let anyone down" kind of people.

    Specializes in ADHD, Anger Issues +20 more
    Maybe you’ve spent years pushing through difficult experiences, taking care of everyone else, or simply doing what you needed to do to survive. Now you may be dealing with the lasting effects of trauma, grief, or overwhelming life experiences and wondering how to move forward.   I especially enjoy working with adults healing from childhood and interpersonal trauma, as well as veterans, first responders, medical professionals, and others who have experienced high-stress or life-threatening situations. As a retired Air Force veteran and experienced trauma therapist, I understand that some experiences can be difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t lived them. My training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other trauma-focused approaches, and I tailor therapy to the person rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.   My style is experienced, straightforward, and compassionate. We’ll make sense of what you’ve been through together and find practical ways to help you move forward.

    I believe in the power of human relationships and know that opportunities to be radically authentic are often limited in daily life. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space where you can be unapologetically yourself. I bring a compassionate, accepting presence and balance it with evidence-based approaches shown to support healing. I often use a blend of EMDR, DBT, and mindfulness in my work. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and helping people heal from relational wounds.

    I identify the areas of concern that impact my clients' well-being and focus our efforts on managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance abuse. I recognize the importance of building rapport and understanding each client's individual needs. I work closely with clients to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their goals and preferences. I involve clients and empower them to take ownership of their treatment journey and foster a sense of agency in their recovery. One of my key strengths as a therapist is my ability to assess current stressors and prioritize the most pressing issues facing my clients.

    I specialize in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related disorders. I understand how relentless and consuming anxiety can feel—whether it’s the loop of intrusive thoughts, the weight of compulsions, or a constant sense of unease.

Everyone deserves a safe space to share their story, build new skills, and gain insight into who they are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience, and I work to create a space where you feel supported.

    I believe in living my life by two R’s: release and relief. So often we internalize our feelings and emotions and find relief through negative self-talk, over working, engaging in toxic relationships and overthinking. Which means we never truly deal with the stressor or trigger to release the emotion. Now ask yourself, how is this fair to your present and your future? As a child, internalizing my feelings and emotions was my solution to life, which accompanied me into my adulthood. The inability to release my feelings in a healthy manner encouraged my negative self-talk and self-doubts.

    I work with adults navigating various stages of life, including those experiencing life transitions, stress, or emotional challenges. My approach begins by understanding a person’s early developmental experiences and how they connect to present-day patterns. I collaborate with clients to set clear goals, beginning each session with a check-in and allowing space to process current events. I incorporate tools that promote growth outside of sessions, such as journaling prompts, reflective questions, or personal challenges tailored to each client.

    I specialize in supporting clients with depression, anxiety, stress-related issues, life transitions, and unresolved or repressed trauma. Life happens quickly, and we don’t always have the tools or perspective to show up as our best selves.

I use a client-centered approach, providing a safe space for vulnerability, honesty, and growth.
