I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a unique professional background, I bring eight years of experience in law enforcement alongside extensive work in child protection, domestic violence advocacy, and both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. This diverse perspective allows me to understand trauma from multiple angles and support clients with both empathy and practical insight. Trained in EMDR, I take a grounded, down-to-earth approach to healing, creating a space that feels safe, approachable, and real. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating—when appropriate, I incorporate humor and authenticity to help clients feel at ease and truly heard.
