Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges or feeling stuck-you don’t have to navigate it alone. I'm a licensed therapist with nearly 20 years of experience in the field helping individuals and couples create lasting, meaningful change.

Together, we’ll identify what brings you to therapy, we'll gently look at where you're feeling stuck and examine the patterns that are no longer serving you. Then, with evidence-based interventions we'll modify these patterns leading to lasting meaningful change.

My formal clinical training was received through the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I gained extensive experience providing evidence-based psychotherapy to military veterans and their partners. I completed specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at the Beck Institute, founded by Dr. Aaron T. Beck and Dr. Judith S. Beck. I specialize in treating PTSD (combat and sexual trauma), Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Grief and Couples.
