About

Update as of 11/12/25: I am only accepting military, former military, Reserves, and First Responders at this time, and only virtually. Feeling unmotivated, worried, angry, and/or exhausted but don't know how to take the next step toward change and need help? Sometimes we need someone to listen to us, reflect, and challenge our negative thinking, while supporting/acknowledging our feelings as we work through an issue. Other times, there are deeper issues from our past that hold us back, and this is where I can help you help yourself. You will do the work and I will be your guide. Seeking out therapy takes vulnerability, trust, and courage for whatever the challenge you are going through. In addition to listening and reflecting, I will provide you with specific tools, homework assignments, and we will work on your goals together. I have experience working with combat trauma, sexual trauma, childhood abuse, and other events. Moving Past the Storm has been my way of seeing how we can move through life's crushing waves to calmer seas and safe harbor. You can review my history, therapeutic techniques, and more below, and on my website. I will provide a free 30-minute consult with you when you contact me when you are ready. Specialties: First know that I cannot change you- that must come from within. I will provide you with support, tools, and teach you how to be accountable to yourself so you develop confidence and the ability to make progress throughout your life. My clients will tell you that it may take months to see significant progress from weekly sessions, they leave each session feeling more confident and calm. Credentials & Experience: I have over 20 years in practice and have worked on multiple military installations. I am certified in multiple forms of trauma-informed therapy to help people with sexual trauma, combat trauma, childhood trauma and abuse, as well as other types of life-threatening events, including Chronic PTSD.

"I mostly use Cognitive CBT, SFT (Solution Focused Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing. Depending on the need, I will pick from multiple treatment types. Many sessions will have homework (15-30 mins per week) to engage you in between sessions and practice what you have learned. It's important to understand that you will be learning a new habit, which, when practiced, changes old behaviors."
