About My Clients

From military leaders, to executives, to athletes, and everyone in between...I tend to work with high performing people who can also get stuck in the hard places of life. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and experienced Couples Therapist with years of clinical practice treating active duty military, first responders, their families, and others with PTSD, Complex / Childhood Trauma, Mood Disorders, Marriage / Relationship Issues, Racial Injustice Concerns, and more.

My Background and Approach

Prior to private practice, I worked as a Clinical Fellow and Clinician with the highly regarded Cohen Veterans Network (CVN) of Military Family Clinics. While there, I was fortunate enough to work with countless couples, quickly earning a reputation as a local subject matter expert in the interplay between human attachment and intimate relationships. I view people and most of our concerns through the lens of Attachment (our biological need for secure connection with others) and the difficult, sometimes traumatic experiences we have that disrupt those connections and along with it, our sense of wholeness within ourselves, in our relationships, and with the world we live in. As such, my approach to therapy is dynamic and integrative. I fuse cutting edge research on the science of human connection with a therapeutic style that is experiential, capacity and resilience building, and centered on the whole-person.
