Whether you are facing a new diagnosis, an unexpected life stressor or are dealing with a concern or symptoms that have you feeling stuck and ruminating, you have taken the first step in living the life you want to live by trying to find a therapist to connect with. I understand just how big of a step this is to take and I recognize the privilege it is to be the person you choose to share your story with. With a combined 29 years of service to others, 20 years as a police officer and 9 years in the social work field, I will draw upon this knowledge and experiences to help guide you towards living a rich, full and meaningful life which you hope for.

As a trauma-informed therapist I will work with you, as a Team, to come up with the best possible approach to helping you deal with your presenting concerns. Formally trained in both ACT and CBT, as well as a number of other therapies, we will decide on how best to move forward in your healing journey.

Regardless of the approach taken, first and foremost I strive to meet you on human level, knowing that the connections we forge are the foundation for our work together. I believe that therapy is a collaborative, team effort between the client and therapist. Working together as a team, we will move you towards the life you hope to live.
