I am a queer non-binary transmasc therapist whose goal is that, with me, you can feel safe and honored. Feeling comfortable sharing may not feel easy or immediate, so I aim to stay present, mindful and non-judgmental, so that you can be at ease to bring your full self to our sessions. My therapeutic style is relational, allowing freedom of expression to occur in our dynamic. I value the way the mind and body are intricately connected and inform our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am guided by therapeutic modalities such as DBT, somatic experiencing, internal family systems and polyvagal theories.

I believe that meaningful transformation is possible through the therapeutic process, and I am committed to helping you address the issues and conflicts which undermine your ability to achieve happiness and satisfaction. I have several years experience working with adults in a variety of settings (VA and private hospitals, university clinics and psychoanalytic institutes). My orientation is primarily psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, although I employ other approaches, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and self psychology interventions, where appropriate. I also believe that understanding the role of culture, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation is a vital part of treatment.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, family discord, relationship issues or a life change, you are taking an important first step in improving your overall well-being. I will provide empathetic guidance towards coping and healing. Together, we will address your concerns, build upon your strengths, and discover better ways to help you find meaning and balance in your life, even when life demands feel overwhelming. With me, you will find a safe environment with a fresh perspective. We will work together to develop your potential and identify healthy coping skills.

My practice is inspired by my belief that all people deserve to live fulfilling, safe, and pleasurable lives. I work in collaboration with my clients, helping them to achieve whatever contentment looks like for them from a down-to-earth and light-hearted stance of humility, non-judgment, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we will make space for your feelings (even the most rejected ones), search beyond stigmatizing labels to pinpoint root causes of symptoms, create a plan for achieving your goals, and develop skills for you to cope with the present. I welcome clients questioning their identities or seeking to heal old wounds.

Do you find uncertainty intolerable, or obsess about things you can't control? Logically you know anxiety isn't helping; however, OCD, depression, and relationship or marriage stress often lead to overthinking & trying to predict the future. You get feedback you're a great employee or friend, but the fear of disappointing people leads to procrastinating, avoiding conflict, and an inability to be present. I offer individual therapy and couples counseling for adults who want to take back control over their obsessive thoughts, unpredictable feelings, and unhelpful relationship patterns. I can help you stop the spiraling.

As another fellow human being, I too understand that life will inevitably throw difficulties and challenges in our way. Our feelings and responses towards these situations can be difficult to handle on our own, or even difficult to understand. We can often be left with hurt, confusion, and a feeling of aloneness during these times, and I seek to help remedy that for my clients. Whether it’s strife in an interpersonal relationship, substance abuse, past traumas, gender and sexuality issues, or one’s own journey of self-discovery and growth, I believe we can work together to make struggles in those areas a temporary state for you.

I am glad you are reaching out for support. We all have difficult times and need support in different ways. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT for short-term, present focused treatment and psychodynamic interventions that explore and uncover underlying root causes. I use an integrative approach to therapy with a client-centered perspective. I also incorporate holistic interventions with mindfulness and aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. For couples therapy, I use Gottman Method and include aspects of EFT. In our work together, I will be here to guide, support, challenge, and inspire you to reach your goals.

I'm a dedicated psychotherapist with an extensive and diverse background, spanning private practice, schools, college clinics, foster care, and hospitals, including acute care. With a passion for treating individuals of all ages, I specialize in harnessing the power of evidence-based therapies to create long-lasting positive change, focusing on the core of issues, rather than surface change.

You care about getting it right and living your best life. You don’t understand why, despite all your best efforts, you’re still unhappy. No matter how hard you try, you feel stuck, stressed out, empty and disconnected. You thought once you had it all, you’d finally feel okay. But the goal post just keeps moving and the dissatisfaction never eases. This life looks shiny from the outside, but inside, you’re a mess. You secretly feel ashamed, like an imposter, not good enough, undeserving. You can’t open up to anyone around you, because what right do you have to complain? But deep down, you feel broken and have no idea how to fix it.

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I’ve been trained by top therapy institutes, am a board member for well accomplished CBT organizations, and run the official podcast for the national CBT organization. I strive to regularly advance my knowledge and provide leading scientific treatments. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, trauma, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiance, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

Whether you are dealing with family stress, parenting challenges, career decisions, relationship issues, or simply wondering what is next for you, I am here to help you feel more in control of your life, your goals and your aspirations.

I am an experienced clinical psychotherapist specializing in adult individual treatment.

I have trained in family systems theory, systemic problem solving, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

If you feel you are not reaching your full potential and are motivated to do so, I will assist you to reach your goal.

Dr. Dobbs is an accomplished clinical psychologist with over fifteen years of experience between teaching and clinical work. She specializes in working with children, teens, and adults and has worked across various settings, including private practice, school, residential, and community mental health. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in the gold standard of treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which provides faster, more effective results. With children and teens, she goes beyond the traditional confines of therapy by harnessing their natural creativity, integrating art, music, games, journaling, and other creative outlets.

In my 10 + years of clinical practice, I’ve found that I do my best work with clients whose formative experiences have thrust them into roles that no longer serve them. Many identify as people-pleasers, perfectionists, caretakers. They often report feeling disconnected from their own needs and struggle with setting healthy boundaries or with tolerating the discomfort of conflict. Their lives are often characterized by a fear of being disliked, a chronic need to please others, tumultuous relationships and an overwhelming feeling of being undervalued and misunderstood.

We receive many messages from our loved ones and society about who we are and who we should be. These messages can make us feel stifled and pressured to conform to others' expectations to fit in or feel worthy. It is isolating and painful when our true selves don't align with others' expectations. This pain can cause us to hold negative beliefs about ourselves, isolate ourselves from others, and avoid trying new things. This pain keeps us from embracing our life, relationships, and ourselves. The path to embracing your authentic self starts here.
