I have a passion for supporting and helping others and I want to let you know I honor your decision to seek help. I know this can be a scary experience but I want you to know that I will support you 100 percent. I believe the strongest people in the world are those brave enough to ask for help when they need it. I received my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. The previous 10 years were spent in Law Enforcement. The modalities I use most are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I utilize interventions from all schools of therapy depending on client need. Mindfulness, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, deep breathing and cognitive reframing are some of the tools I use to help my clients. I have a passion for working with people to discover their own personal spiritual path. I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss and first responder resiliency. Again, I would like to thank you for reviewing my profile. I look forward to working with you. If you like you can o to my scheduling page and book a session. they are in 30 minute increments.

I have a background as an instructor at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our sessions can be through whichever method makes you feel most comfortable. I find it helpful to use video sessions for at least some of the sessions, but if you would prefer to only chat that is just fine too. I welcome all clients of the LGBTQ+ community as I am an ally. I work with those in the LGBTQ+ community as well as parents of LGBTQ+ who are struggling. Outside of being a clinician, I am an Ironman Triathlete. I look forward to helping you!
