Great to meet you!

Are you feeling stuck?

Trapped in the past—replaying painful memories or unable to let go? Or living in the future—overthinking, worrying, and second-guessing every decision?

You don’t have to stay there.

While you can’t change the past, you can take control of your present—and start building the future you want. With the right support, real change is possible.

My approach to therapy

With over 18 years of clinical experience, including 15 years with the Department of Veterans Affairs, I bring a deep understanding of how to turn proven science into meaningful, lasting results. My approach blends evidence-based treatment with a personalized, flexible style—because no two people are the same.

I specialize in helping individuals overcome PTSD, anxiety, trauma, panic disorders, insomnia, and chronic health-related challenges. Using powerful, research-backed therapies like EMDR (including EMDR 2.0), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, CBT for Insomnia, and mindfulness-based approaches, I help clients move forward with clarity, confidence, and relief.

With years of focused experience, I’ve developed deep expertise in treating trauma and PTSD—along with the many challenges that often come with them. I’m extensively trained and certified in evidence-based therapies and have pursued advanced training to stay at the forefront of effective treatment.

What you can expect from me

But therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. While I use proven, research-backed approaches, I believe real progress happens through collaboration. We’ll work together as a team—every step of the way—to create a plan that’s tailored to you, your goals, and your life.

You deserve a space where you feel truly understood, respected, and supported.

From the very first session, my focus is on you—your experiences, your goals, and what meaningful change looks like in your life. Together, we’ll take a collaborative and creative approach to therapy, building a personalized plan designed specifically for your needs.

You won’t be left wondering what comes next. By the end of your first session, you’ll have a clear, actionable roadmap for your care.

And as we work together, you’ll gain more than insight—you’ll build the tools, confidence, and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and strength.

You’ve been carrying this long enough. You don’t have to do it alone.

Take the first step today. Call for a free 15-minute consultation and start moving toward real change.
