I have been a psychotherapist working with Veterans for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Vet Center Program for over a decade. I am trained in several evidence-based practices including; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Clinical Hypnosis, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Gottman Method Couples Counseling (I), Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, etc. I am a clinical fellow with the American Association of Marriage and family therapists (AAMFT/highest level of MFT licensure in a US state) and qualified to clinical supervise in CA.
I am a retired Army Officer (OEF) and specialize in working with first responders, military, and veteran population on complex issues related to adjustment and moral injury/conflict. I am spiritual and enjoy integrating tools to support individual needs in order to assist with overcoming blocking beliefs that disrupt life. I volunteer in my community (Military, Church, Schools, and local organizations) and present professional development/empowerment workshops in effort to help enhance interpersonal connections.
