I am an Army veteran and work as a victim specialist with law enforcement. I believe healing through therapy is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment.

I believe that challenges and changes allow individuals to examine their lives and draw from their inner strength the ability to redirect their life’s path.
