I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping people heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, & life stress. I specialize in working with first responders, veterans, and adults across the lifespan, including young adults navigating major transitions. My family is full of first responders and veterans so it's an area that I am familiar with and recognize the unique challenges that come with it.
My approach is practical, compassionate, and evidence based. I integrate trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and nervous system regulation techniques to help you feel more grounded, resilient and in control.
Whether you are carrying the weight of past experiences or feeling overwhelmed in the present, therapy can be a place to reset, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
In our first session, you can expect calm, supportive space where we focus on understanding what's bringing you in and what you'd like to change. I'll ask thoughtful questions about your current concerns, relevant history, and what has-or-hasn't-worked for you in the past.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you arrive-our first session is simply a starting point.
