I strive to help clients understand their needs, issues, and suffering in the unique context of their lives. One person's symptoms may look and be caused by something very different than another's, requiring a deeper treatment approach than "generic textbook." I help clients to gain insight into the root causes of their distress so that they can work through rather than around their core issues. I help clients to understand what normal and healthy responses are to trauma (e.g., systems of oppression, grief, abuse) so that clients can externalize (e.g., not hold themselves responsible for) what they did not cause.

I enjoy working with people who present with a variety of backgrounds and challenges. I believe that the relationship is the most important and powerful part of therapy. Whether I'm involved in play therapy with a child or problem solving with an adult client, I wish for my caring and support to be most evident. I work with children, adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, learning problems, and substance abuse. I conduct testing and forensic psychology evaluations as well.

I am a seasoned psychologist with significant experience counseling clients on career, addictions and family issues, in addition to depression, anxiety and general mental health problems. You can deal with issues of personal happiness and personal growth. We can create a dialogue about present situations and future plans.

If you’re looking for a therapist, you're ready for something in your life to change. Are you tired of trying to figure things out on your own? Are you struggling with your important relationships? Do the people you usually turn to for guidance no longer seem to know how to help? Whatever brought you to this point, your regular ways of making yourself feel better are no longer enough to restore your peace of mind. You don’t need to deal with all of that alone.

I work mostly with people who want to heal from trauma or abuse. I have helped many people suffering from PTSD with their nightmares, flashbacks, dissociation, isolation, anxiety, & depression. I strive to help in any way I can, so I use a mix of tools and approaches. I share my thoughts in an ongoing and collaborative way because I believe my clients benefit more from me being open and forthcoming.
