Specialized Therapy for Trauma, Purpose, and Relationships

You might be feeling stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change, weighed down by past experiences, or disconnected from the people and parts of life that matter most to you. In therapy, I draw on a humanistic, experiential approach and evidence‑based methods like EMDR to help you process trauma, navigate major life transitions, and work through relationship challenges at a pace that feels manageable for you. Together, we’ll focus on increasing insight, building practical tools, and moving toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with your values.

“I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Tier 1 Therapy, where I specialize in helping adult individuals, couples, veterans, law enforcement, and other first responders navigate trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Drawing on 10 years of clinical experience, a Ph.D. in Marital and Family Therapy, and advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), I provide evidence-based care grounded in a humanistic, experiential approach. As a Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Afghanistan in 2010, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work with military service members and veterans, with a focus on PTSD, military-to-civilian reintegration, depression, and anxiety.”
