Therapy with Lived Wisdom

With over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys, I bring more than clinical knowledge—I bring lived understanding. My work is rooted in the mind-body connection, because true healing doesn’t just happen in the mind. It happens in the nervous system, in the body, and in the deeper layers of the self.

Choosing a therapist is a sacred step. If you’re wondering how to choose, I invite you to ask: “Do they do their own work? Have they sat in the depths they’ll be guiding me through?”

I have. I’ve lived the unraveling. I’ve done the deep inner work. And I’ve found my way through.

Now, I offer a steady, compassionate presence to help you find yours. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let me walk with you.

Please send me an email at [email protected] and we can arrange an initial consult or book your first session.

Important Scheduling Note: Due to working full-time in macro social work implementation in the public-sector, slot availability is largely limited to either lunch-hour appointments or limited weekend appointments -- which is typically appropriate for lower-acuity working adult professionals. I maintain a small caseload. If you require appointments during working hours (besides lunch slots, which are available!), I would be unable to accommodate this need.

My approach to therapy is built upon a broad and unique foundation: 15 years of distinguished military service (Army active-duty and Air Force Reserve), social work, and public health analysis.

This background provides a wealth of experience to address your unique needs. Outside of my military career, I earned my Master's in Social Work (4.0 GPA) from Barry University and have worked across the entire spectrum of care: inpatient, intensive outpatient, outpatient, telehealth, and public health.

My primary therapeutic modalities are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also trained in a variety of other evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and many more. I attempt to learn 1 new therapy method per bi-ennium -- to stay engaged and fresh.

I have experience working with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma/PTSD, racial and sexual identity, career concerns, OCD, and relationship conflicts.

I am excited about the opportunity to help you achieve your goals and improve your mental wellness. I am a kink-allied, sex-positive, and gender-affirming therapist.
