Mental Health Therapist 

I believe the relationship between a therapist and a client is one of the most important elements of a client's success. Often more so than any specific modality. Therapy can be a wonderful tool for the variety of life challenges we all face, and each client presents with unique needs. Therapy should be tailored accordingly. I work best with clients navigating trauma and moral injury, including first responders working through the toll their careers have or have had on their lives. I also work with those who want to change violent or aggressive behaviors, or address problematic sexual behaviors, but aren't sure where to start. I want to help clients build emotional regulation skills and find more enjoyment in the present moment.

I'm committed to honoring and cultivating the mind-body connection, and I primarily draw on cognitive behavioral interventions, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches, adapting as needed, since no single technique fits every client's goals. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I listen well. Above all, this is your time, not mine, and I'm dedicated to making sure it feels that way.

It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. My goal is to make that process feel as comfortable as possible.
