Introduction

Healing begins now. Compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals navigating trauma and stress. Life doesn’t come with a manual—but it does come with pressure, loss, and moments that leave us unsteady. If you’ve experienced trauma or find yourself overwhelmed by stress, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist committed to helping individuals heal from the lasting effects of trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress. I work from a place of empathy and clinical expertise, blending therapeutic approaches that are tailored to the individual’s needs. I offer support to survivors of trauma including those suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Whether it be occupational (First Responder, Medical, Military), complex, childhood, vicarious or due to crime, I’m here to help. Therapy with me is a space for safety, insight, and transformation. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, I’ll meet you where you are—with no judgment and full respect for your pace.
