Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Santa Rosa, CA

I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, and the thought patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Since 2003, I’ve used CBT informed, trauma informed, and solution focused techniques to help clients understand cognitive distortions, reframe challenges, and build practical tools for lasting change. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and centered on your goals, strengths, and the skills you already have.

It is my prayer to build a practice that helps you reach a place where your mental health is truly at the forefront. My hope is that with each appointment—and each day—you feel supported in moving closer to the best version of yourself.
