Has anxiety and panic impacted your life and emotional well-being? Have you been avoiding doing certain things in your life out of fear? Has this affected your overall quality of life?

I have some great tools and techniques that you can immediately apply to your life to start alleviating the symptoms of anxiety. I’ve had experiences that cause panic and can help you learn new ways to cope with anxiety. I provide full evaluations with diagnoses and guide people to the services they need to regain their best selves.
I am an ex-police officer twice (and a coroner), I've worked in hospice, and psychiatric hospitals, supporting and counseling first responders, and currently work in an emergency room evaluating the needs of individuals experiencing acute mental health issues.
