About me

I am licensed in California with 15 years of experience. I specialize in working with first responders, military and front line workers. I have experience in helping clients with critical incident stress, cumulative stress, burnout, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and career difficulties. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I believe in the inherent resilience that exists in all of us but can become depleted in times of great stress. I will work with you to improve healthy coping skills and encourage wellness so that your body and mind will function optimally and help to return you to your highest level of functioning.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
