About

You may feel stuck in the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, or unresolved grief. Perhaps you’re a veteran or first responder carrying experiences others don’t fully understand. Maybe you’re navigating life transitions or the challenges of aging and feeling disconnected from who you once were. You want relief from intrusive memories, emotional overwhelm, or numbness. More than that, you want peace, clarity, renewed purpose, and the ability to move forward without the past defining your future. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I offer insurance-based psychotherapy using CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-focused care, as well as The Cortina Method (TCM), a focused brain-based experiential process designed to help reprocess painful experiences efficiently and promote meaningful emotional shifts.
