Great to meet you!

I have 12+ years of post-graduate experience, and specialize in Grief, Loss & Trauma, with a significant history in substance use. I have worked with active duty service members, veterans, and families through the DoD and VA contract. I also ran an outpatient treatment program for co-occurring disorders in TN for over 3 years before relocating to California. I spend my free time with my dog, Patrick, who was previously certified as a Human Animal Bond dog, before he retired to enjoy his old age.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in trauma, specifically childhood trauma and military trauma. I like to work with clients to get a baseline for how their experiences are causing problems in everyday life and work to fix those problems instead of reliving traumas.

What you can expect from me

When my clients complete therapy, they have learned to set healthy boundaries, better communicate and advocate for themselves in relationships, and cope with negative feelings of all kinds.
