Are you feeling overwhelmed, having relationship difficulties, or possibly trying to overcome an addiction? Contemplating whether or not therapy can help? Let me say, this is the moment to do something different in your life. Whether you feel that your relationship is stuck in the same repetitive pattern; or trying to overcome an addiction; or maybe having difficulties in day-to-day life due to prior traumatic experiences. I can help you gain a better understanding of not only how trauma impacts our daily functioning; but how relationships work, and how problems can be resolved in even the most challenging situations.

As a former first responder and combat veteran, I have a unique understanding of the very complex challenges that are faced by not only the individual but their families as well. I use evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also offer all services in Spanish.

Lastly, I am passionate about breaking the stigma of mental health. As a trauma survivor myself, I understand the life-changing experience therapy can be. My goal is to help individuals live fulfilling lives and be a part of meaningful relationships. Whether it be the relationship we have with ourselves, or with friends, partners, and family members.
