Great to meet you!

Before becoming a therapist, I served as a U.S. Air Force non-commissioned officer and worked over 20 years in corporate management, leading and mentoring others.

​With this background, education, and my experience as a therapist, I offer a diverse vision of communication dynamics and cognitive and emotional problem solving.

My approach to therapy

My approach is solution focused and direct. From a foundation of behavioral science, empathy and compassion, I enable a safe and transparent experience with an emphasis on empowerment, clarity, and intentionality.

What you can expect from me

My training in CBT, RLT and Neuropsychotherapy provide an evidence-based roadmap for development of mental and emotional management and problem solving skills that you will be able to use as an individual or in your relationship for the rest of your life.
