You're welcome here. I know it can feel strange at first, but connecting with support via therapy might be just the thing to move you along in your growth and healing. It is so normal to come up against physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges in life and to sometimes feel stuck. Through intentional processing, healthy coping skills, and connection it is possible to feel lighter, to feel free, and to find the lotus in the mud. Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or stressed and notice this impacting your relationships, work, or ability to feel calm? Are you hoping to be a calm and connected parent to your child?

Anxiety is a major obstacle that can get in our way of living the life we want. While a certain amount of anxiety is normal for all persons, those with excessive anxiety may find themselves experiencing constant worry, doubt, and self criticism. Depression, substance abuse and relationship problems often follow. However, these problems are manageable. But first you will need to understand your beliefs, your motivations, and behavior. I will work together with you to help you feel safe by learning to manage your thoughts, using evidence-based therapies which will help you develop insight into your situation.

I am an Army Veteran, Martial artist, and Holistic Psychotherapist. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Counseling from PLNU and have experience working with adults suffering from complex psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, anxiety and much more. My time in the military allowed me to grow in many ways that contribute to who I am today. My service as an Army Airborne Infantryman also impacted me in ways I wasn’t prepared for, which sent me on a quest for answers and further self-development. In my search for understanding I found different ways to heal and grow which I utilize in therapy.
