I have over 30 years of experience working with clients in a variety of settings, to include active duty service members and their dependents, veterans, college students, and those within forensic and correctional settings.  My passion is to assist you through life’s most complex and difficult matters. I am trained to use trauma-focused strategies to assist clients with PTSD and other trauma responses that may stem from combat, military/adult sexual trauma, childhood sexual trauma, medical trauma, and community violence. I am also well skilled in treating common mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression, anger, maladaptive responses to stressor and prolonged grief responses.  Common interventions included Solution focused strategies, CBT, ACT, DBT, CPT, PE and EMDR. 

 

While I am an approachable down to earth therapist, I believe that therapy should resemble more than talking to a good friend. I provide an engaging, ethical approach to therapy that incorporates both psycho-education and evidenced-based strategies. I believe very strongly in providing my clients with the necessary knowledge to empower them as they collaborate with treatment decisions. I offer you a safe and affirming setting to help you grow from life challenges, heal from your pain and move forward to where YOU want to be in your life.  Let's collaborate as we work towards your recovery.

 

At this time, I am only offering virtual appointments (tele-therapy). Please contact me for a free consultation to determine if I am a good fit for your needs.
