With over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. My approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and respect for each person’s unique story. I believe that healing begins with self-awareness, and I work collaboratively with my clients to uncover the patterns that may be holding them back, guiding them toward lasting emotional growth and improved well-being. Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with service members, veterans, and individuals living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can process their experiences, rebuild trust in themselves, and rediscover a sense of balance and purpose. I am dedicated to helping those who have served our country find renewed strength and peace as they work through the challenges that trauma can bring. My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based practices with a deeply human and empathetic touch. I believe in the power of change and in each person’s capacity to lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Whether you are seeking to manage stress, overcome trauma, or simply enhance your emotional well-being, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
