Work HistoryI specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional blocks, and life transitions. My practice is rooted in evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and psychedelic preparation and integration. I have extensive experience working with veterans, guiding them through healing from PTSD, moral injury, and combat-related trauma.
Beyond traditional therapy, I incorporate holistic mental health practices, including natural ways to boost serotonin, gut health, and fitness tailored for emotional well-being. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and focused on empowering individuals to reconnect with their inner strength and resilience.
