I specialize in primary and secondary trauma experienced by law enforcement officers, firefighters/paramedics, coroners, funeral directors and their families, educators, veterans, mental health professionals, survivors of suicide, survivors of violent crimes (sexual assault, domestic violence, workplace violence, kidnapping, and home invasion), their families, and those struggling with complicated and traumatic grief. I see clients who need help managing their anger and addictive behaviors. Additionally, I work with survivors of Near Death Experiences (NDE) and psychically gifted children and adults.

I offer critical incident debriefing and assessments, as well as mandated psychotherapy for fit-for-duty protocols to Law Enforcement officers, Firefighters, Paramedics, and 911 Center DIspatchers.

I hold a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, a Master of Ministry in Comparative Theology, and a Doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology, both from the University of Arizona. I am a Certified Critical Incident Response provider with an advanced certification in Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Complex Traumatic Stress Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing, and Treatment of Moral Injury in Service Members and Law Enforcement through the Center for Deployment Psychology. I also hold an advanced Certification in Clinical Hypnosis and Meditation Instruction from the American Institute for Healthcare Professionals.

Additionally, I am certified through The Center for Professionals in Traumatology in School Crisis Interventions, Acute Stress, Acute Stress Disorder, and PTSD.
