About

Are you looking for an exit ramp? Are you stuck in painful congestion or caught in a traffic circle of intrusive thoughts, depression, anxiety, self-destructive behaviors, shame, fear, grief, physiological reactivity, or chronic stress? I can help you find your off-ramp. I have been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) since 2001. I am a Certified Trauma Treatment Specialist (CTTS) with the Association of Traumatic Stress Specialists, Certified Clinical Military Counselor (CCCMC), and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have a broad range of experience working with mental health and substance use disorders, but my expertise and passion is working with PTSD, acute stress, medical, developmental and complex trauma. My approach to therapy is eclectic and reflects my belief that individuals and their experience are unique. Counseling should be dynamic not cookie-cutter. Our work will be collaborative and reflect your goals and needs. I may assign homework and/or suggest external resources to aid recovery. If you are ready to reroute towards healing and hope, or contemplating if you’re worthy of the trip, please call. Let’s find your exit ramp.
