Experiencing trauma can feel like carrying around a suit of armor: It can protect us from threats, but weigh us down over time, make it more difficult to be flexible, and prevent us from connecting with others on a deeper level. I have experience working with adults of all ages with PTSD, in addition to a wide range of other concerns such as anxiety, depression, and grief.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I love helping people overcome past traumas- be it physical, emotional, or sexual abuse to the pain of not fitting in with your family or friend groups. I strongly believe in the inherent resiliency and transformative potential of ALL people. I take a behavioral approach which helps people to recognize the impact of their past on their present ways of seeing, feeling, and experiencing the world while teaching new tools and skills for building a life of meaning and purpose. I am also warm, funny, open, and look forward to meeting with you to see if I can help you in your transformative journey.

Life is so unpredictable. There is an inherent mystery and beauty in navigating life, but unexpected events and circumstances can make certain seasons especially challenging. Whether it is a story from our past we continue to tell ourselves or a current situation we never asked for or anticipated, effective counseling has the potential to help motivate us to explore and identify our unique strengths, assets and skills and to ultimately encourage momentum toward personal growth and individual transformation. Within a constructive and supportive therapeutic relationship, there is hope for healing and living more fully.
