This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and I don't take that lightly.

I'm a therapist who believes people are more capable than they give themselves credit for. My job is to help you see the strengths you already have and put them to work. I'll be warm with you, and I'll also be honest with you. Most people tell me that combination is what they were looking for.

Outside of session, my life is pretty full. I work out because it keeps my head clear, I almost always have a book going, and I volunteer at my church. My kids are college athletes, so a lot of our weekends are spent on the road watching them compete. When I get a real break, you'll find me at the beach. I mention all of this because I know what it's like to juggle a lot, and I'm not going to hand you advice that only works in a perfect week.

Sometimes your mind understands what’s happened, but your body still holds the impact. I’m trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, approaches that help gently process those deeper layers. My work integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness to support nervous system regulation, so change doesn’t just feel intellectual, it feels real, grounded, and lasting.
