As a licensed therapist specializing in trauma and addiction, I help individuals navigate life’s most challenging moments. Before transitioning to therapy, I spent years working on the frontlines as a paramedic. That experience gave me a profound, firsthand understanding of acute crisis, survival instincts, and the long-term perspective with evidence-based treatment modalities. I am extensively trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) to help safely process traumatic memories and distress. Additionally, I integrate CBT and DBT to provide practical, concrete skills for emotional regulation and addiction recovery.
