About My Clients

I work best with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns their mind understands but their body hasn’t caught up with. Many of my clients are thoughtful, driven, and sensitive, yet struggle with anxiety, stress, trauma, or nervous system dysregulation. They’re looking for therapy that goes beyond talking and supports real regulation, clarity, and change

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed psychotherapist with advanced training in both talk therapy and nervous-system–based approaches, including neurofeedback and biofeedback. My work integrates CBT, somatic and mindfulness-based therapies, and relational depth to help clients not only understand their struggles, but experience real regulation and change. With a background as a former NCAA athlete and military service member, I bring a grounded, disciplined, and practical approach to therapy—balancing compassion with structure. I specialize in anxiety, stress, trauma, and patterns that feel “stuck,” especially when insight alone hasn’t been enough. My goal is to help clients feel safer in their bodies, clearer in their minds, and more capable in their lives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe the purpose of life is to become most fully yourself. My goal is to help you do that.
