Great to meet you!

I am a PhD-level clinician with over 10 years of experience treating healthcare professionals.

If you feel disconnected from your purpose, loved ones, or yourself, and struggle to find joy in the work you once loved, healing is possible.

I’ve worked with physicians, nurses, EMTs, psychotherapists, and many other healthcare professionals to implement high-yield strategies that make each day more manageable than the last.

My approach to therapy

With 12 years as a military officer, I bring a unique understanding of resilience and post-traumatic growth. I know you want to live a rich, meaningful, values-driven life again, which is why I prioritize efficient healing to help you feel better as quickly as possible.

As a social science researcher, I value evidence-based, research-backed therapeutic approaches. Therefore, I utilize ACT, EMDR, CPT, PE, and Somatic Therapy to support my clients in their healing journey.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I’ll help you feel at ease and reduce any anxiety about speaking with me.

Whether you're ready to transform trauma into growth or simply need quick, practical strategies to survive and feel a little bit better without unpacking everything just yet, I'm here to support you.

I look forward to working together and providing the support and strategies that feel right for where you are right now.
