Having over 10 years of experience in the mental health field in a variety of geographical locations and settings has given me a solid foundation of understanding diverse backgrounds and struggles. In addition, having law enforcement in my immediate family has afforded me a unique perspective into the stigma of therapy, the chronic exposure to trauma and the stoicism the field requires.

My personal and professional experience with anxiety and chronic illness and pain has allowed me to understand first hand the complex struggles that often occur along with these conditions.

How can I help?

​

I help clients discover their internal resources and strengthen resilience. I provide evidence-based strategies that support emotion regulation, calm agitating nervous system responses, and identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. Throughout our work, you may experience increased awareness, develop more adaptive responses to mental health symptoms, and experience an improved quality of life. My primary focus is to effectively and sustainably reduce suffering.
