I’m a Licensed Mental Health Professional with a background in healthcare as a Registered Nurse. I have a direct, action-oriented, and practical yet collaborative, compassionate, holistic (full-picture) approach to psychotherapy. I utilize a variety of integrative mental health interventions. The integrative techniques I share with clients are research-based and found to be effective in treating anything from anxiety, phobias, and emotional distress to physical symptoms associated with mental health disorders and complex trauma often experienced by military personnel and first responders.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families experiencing trauma, sleeping issues, anxiety, phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, relational conflicts, life transitions, stress management, work-life balance issues, time management, workplace issues, spiritual issues, psychosomatic symptoms, and health issues.
