Great to meet you!

Supporting individuals has always been a passion of mine. I became a therapist with the desire to help and assist others through challenging emotions and events. I strive to create an environment that can empower individuals to lead a happier and healthier lifestyle. I work closely with Veterans and First Responders, aiming to provide a safe place to process the unique challenges of these careers.

My approach to therapy

I value a client-centered and strengths based approach. I specialize in anxiety and depression management, trauma-focused care and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). CPT has allowed many Veterans and First Responders to safely process line of duty traumas, overcoming “stuck points” or unhealthy beliefs incurred by trauma.

What you can expect from me

Together, we will identify triggers, outline solutions and utilize coping skills to better manage life’s challenges. I believe in the importance of supporting individuals through challenging times as well as celebrating the hard earned wins. Let’s start today!
