I have 20 years of experience with severe, acute and chronic mental illness and personality disorders. I work with veterans, first responders and domestic violence survivors as well as anger and behavioral management.

Life can get messy and complicated, and sometimes we just need a little help coping. We all have the potential to be living fully, experience joy even during times of trials. "Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations." Alfred Adler.

Life has challenges; you don't have to go through them alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood without judgment.

I am a holistic and integrative therapist and his core principles are compassion, collaboration, and transparency. I have extensive experience in counseling individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, work/life balance stressors, life transitions, substance use, and other areas.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

My approach begins with appreciation for your life story and recognizing your strengths, because you have survived 100% of your hardest days so far. Using mindfulness & somatic/ relaxation techniques to establish a sense of safety, we can allow distressing memories to resurface and be re-processed with EMDR to address patterns and enhance healing.

Life can be challenging and may feel overwhelming at times. Maybe you have been struggling for a very long time, or maybe something more recent has come up. I want you to know that you don't have to struggle alone. I am here to listen and to help you explore those things in life that are interfering with your health and happiness.

Is life overwhelming you? You don’t have to go at it alone. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. As you begin your journey toward emotional healing and growth, it is important to me to develop a positive connection that creates a safe, comfortable environment where we work together to address the difficulties you are having.

Everyone can benefit from a sounding board for life's struggles. Central to successful therapy is forming a trustworthy relationship and attuning to your thoughts, feelings, actions, frustrations, desires, and goals. I take a very active approach, giving you feedback, suggesting specific actions, and offering areas of focus between meetings.

I like to meet the client where they are at in life and treatment. I like to gauge what methologies are going to work for them, rather than make them mold to a single methodology. I employ empathy, person centered approaches as well as psychoeducational materials and worksheets. I like to help the client, but help the client help themselves.

My passion is working with people to navigate life's challenges and transitions, whether that's changes at work, moving, or shifts in relationships. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we focus on your goals and strengths, building coping skills and strategies.

I became a therapist because I have always been inspired by the resilience of the human spirit. If you are working through a challenge or setback, we will explore what happened without judgment and identify practical ways of moving forward. I am licensed in Washington State, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee.
