About My Clients
Do you frequently feel on edge and unable to relax? Do you feel unmanageable sadness? Have you found yourself frequently replaying events and experiences in your head?
My Background and Approach
I am a police officer with over 21 years of experience working closely with individuals who have experienced trauma, crisis, and high-stress situations. Throughout my career, I have supported survivors and witnesses of traumatic events, which informs my clinical understanding of how trauma impacts emotional regulation, relationships, and daily functioning. I bring this real-world perspective into therapy to help clients feel understood, grounded, and supported as they work toward stability and healing. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, structured, and evidence-based, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help clients process trauma, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that every person deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. Everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and validated, especially during times of distress. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to share their experiences without fear of judgment. While many individuals may experience similar symptoms or challenges, I believe each person’s experience is unique. Personal history, values, and circumstances shape how distress is felt and understood. For this reason, I approach therapy as a collaborative process, taking time to listen carefully and understand each client’s individual story. My goal is to meet clients where they are, respect their autonomy, and tailor treatment to their specific needs. I believe meaningful change occurs when clients feel genuinely understood and supported, allowing them to build insight, resilience, and lasting growth.
