I am deeply committed to helping clients find healing and growth through a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to therapy. With a foundation in solution-focused care and a focus on the client’s strengths, my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where we can work through challenging situations together, leading to meaningful change. I utilize treatments supported by evidence and research including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques. I am currently training in EMDR.

I welcome clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds and provide LGBTQ+ affirming care. My areas of interest include grief, trauma, faith transition, first-responder support, and guiding clients through recovery after weight loss surgery. I worked as a civilian first-responder at a police agency, and in multiple roles in the criminal justice system for 30 years, leading to my interest in helping individuals exposed to workplace trauma. I am open to working with clients experiencing a variety of mental health challenges.
