Hello

As a young adult, I learned the damaging effects of trauma and grief as I witnessed friends and family

return home from war and deteriorate due to limited access to mental health services. At 19 years old, I

made it my mission to help service members and veterans struggling due to trauma and grief. Through

this work, I became aware of the very significant mental health concerns first responders also face and

expanded my expertise to include working with police, firefighters, EMTs, corrections officers, and

medical providers.

​

Though much of my career has been focused on helping veterans, service members, and first

responders, I have also spent a great deal of time working with individuals who suffer due to depression,

grief, and anxiety, as well as non-work-related traumas such as assault (interpersonal, gun violence),

vehicle accidents, and medical-related diagnoses/experiences. I also have experience working in

hospice, including end-of-life planning and care. I recognize how damaging trauma, grief, and depression

can be and I am here to help.

​

In our sessions, you can expect to gain a thorough understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs,

all of which impact day-to-day functioning.  I find it essential to work through mental health concerns in

order to move forward and rebuild a sense of identity and purpose. I am an active participant in therapy

sessions, meaning I believe in offering tools and feedback in real time so you can gain practical skills to

use every day, both in and outside of therapy sessions.

​

In my 10+ years of experience, I have found that a person-centered treatment approach coupled with

solution-focused techniques and evidence-based practices often helps people regain a sense of control

and feel like themselves again. I believe that I can help to support you through this process and would

be honored to meet with you.
