About me
I am a nationally board certified and licensed professional counselor and integrative wellness coach. I specialize in trauma and anxiety disorders and aim to help you understand how the body and brain work together and assist you in developing a toolkit of evidence based skills, strategies and resources to put you back into the driver's seat of your life.
I work with service members and their families, first responders, healthcare workers and survivors of natural disasters and assault on regulating their nervous system, processing grief and loss, regulating sleep and mood and improving interpersonal effectiveness. My approach is practical, playful and I draw from polyvagal and somatic interventions
