Compassionate, Goal-Oriented Care for Trauma & Mental Health

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, and treatment-resistant mental health conditions. With over 20 years of experience, I take a goal-oriented, intensive, and patient-directed approach to therapy, integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, and Trauma-Focused ACT (TFACT) to help clients reclaim their lives.

I have extensive experience working with veterans, law enforcement, and individuals navigating complex trauma, as well as those dealing with functional neurological disorders, chronic pain, and severe anxiety or depression. My practice offers structured treatment programs, including EMDR intensives, pain management programs, and immersive healing experiences tailored to your unique needs.

I believe in the deep connection between the mind and body and incorporate physical movement, self-defense principles, and mindfulness-based techniques into my work when beneficial. Whether you're seeking relief from trauma, chronic pain, or emotional distress, I provide a direct yet compassionate approach to help you heal and move forward.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward resilience and recovery.

My approach is intensive, structured, and patient-directed, meaning we focus on your goals while ensuring you feel in control of your healing process. I integrate evidence-based treatments like EMDR, somatic therapy, and Trauma-Focused ACT (TFACT) to help clients process trauma, manage chronic pain, and navigate complex mental health challenges.

I specialize in working with trauma survivors, veterans, first responders, and individuals struggling with PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and functional neurological disorders. I believe in the mind-body connection and incorporate movement, self-defense principles, and mindfulness-based techniques when beneficial.

In therapy, you can expect a straightforward yet compassionate approach—I prioritize creating a safe space where you feel heard, challenged, and supported. Whether you’re looking for deep trauma work, symptom relief, or long-term healing, I tailor each session to your needs, helping you regain strength, resilience, and control over your life.

Practical Tools, Deep Healing, and Lasting Change

Clients working with me can expect to gain clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of control over their lives. My approach is goal-oriented and intensive, focusing on real progress—not just talking about problems, but actively working toward solutions.

Depending on your needs, you may walk away with:

✅ Relief from trauma symptoms through evidence-based treatments like EMDR and somatic therapy

✅ A deeper connection between mind and body, integrating movement, mindfulness, and self-regulation strategies

✅ Greater emotional resilience and the ability to navigate challenges with confidence

✅ A sense of empowerment, knowing that healing is possible and that you are in control of your progress

I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself while also being gently challenged to grow. My goal is for every session to move you forward, equipping you with the tools and insights you need to reclaim your life.
