In addition to providing high-quality treatment for trauma, I also have experience in working with longstanding complex mood disorders (depression, anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, OCD, Bipolar I and II). I also specialize in treating Dissociative, Personality, and Psychosis related disorders.  

My journey into the realm of mental health advocacy was sparked by a deeply personal experience. Upon returning from my service in Afghanistan as a member of the Army National Guard, I bore witness to the harrowing struggles that befell many of my comrades - battles against substance abuse, the weight of depression, and the haunting grip of PTSD. This firsthand exposure ignited a solemn oath within me: to empower myself with the tools necessary to aid veterans and individuals grappling with adversity. My dedication materialized into a multifaceted role as an addictions counselor and Social Worker - a vocation that resonates with profound intimacy. This mission is more than a career; it's an unwavering passion that fuels my purpose. I am a registered Yoga teacher who likes to integrate the calming of the central nervous systtem and a holistic approach to my practice. Beyond the realm of my professional pursuits, I find solace in the embrace of my family and the companionship of animals. Balancing the intensity of my work, I relish the joy of attending sporting events and concerts, nurturing the vibrant tapestry of my life.

I work with professionals who find themselves torn between the life they have & the life they want to have. You’ve been playing it safe & doing what’s expected of you, but you’re not quite satisfied. You’re afraid to give your all because you don’t know if you will be able to handle what comes next. The judgment. The pressure. The spotlight. You’ve read lots of self-help books, & tried to DIY the process of change with lackluster results. You’ve tried medication or at least thought about it, but you know it’s just a tool & not a cure-all. You haven’t really had the therapy experience that you needed, but you’re ready to try again. I know that you are doing the best that you can. Even if no one else can see it. Carving out time for yourself can be a challenge when you are always on the go and being pulled in a million directions. Working with me will allow you to leverage my knowledge and expertise as a psychologist so that you can achieve ten times more with less internal conflict, resistance and emotional disturbance. Let's connect and talk more about steering you in the right direction.

I love helping my clients address issues with sleep, anxiety, mood, and past traumatic experiences. For me, helping others as a psychologist is a true passion. When appropriate, I use evidence-based therapy, which has clinical research supporting its effectiveness. I routinely offer couples and grief counseling. I've been told by my clients that I clearly take my job seriously and prepare well for sessions, always eager to bring them the relief that they're seeking in a thoughtful and targeted way. I don't stretch treatment out any longer than needed. As far as my unique characteristics as a therapist, I believe that humor plays an important role in treatment, and that therapists who are willing to be self-disclosing and genuine develop stronger, more meaningful connections with their clients. I see therapy as a very personal process -- far more so than other types of health visits -- and that forming a real relationship is a key component of mental health treatment. I find that one definite benefit of such a relationship is that I'm able to offer my clients truthful, direct feedback, as they always know that any challenging remarks are coming from a caring and compassionate place. Along these lines, I belief that it's a therapist's job to routinely encourage their clients to push beyond their comfort zones and make bold changes.
