Currently I can offer appointments within 1-2 weeks. I provide a safe and warm environment filled with validation and trust built over time. It can be overwhelming to manage life stressors on your own. I am here to help you process, understand, and change the way you think or perceive things that may be impacting your everyday living. While we can’t undo the past, we can work together to find hope and meaning in the present by challenging all roadblocks that are preventing you from healing. Being a well rounded psychologist, I work well with a variety of clients and their issues. I look forward to working with you.
As a trauma specialist, I can help you uncover what is getting in the way of you leading a happy and healthy life. While trained in many therapies, I use an eclectic model to meet your needs and goals. CBT, MI, Supportive, ACT, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, CPT, and EMDR are the primary modalities I use to help clients meet their goals.
If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I am here to help you. I understand that trust must be built and that it is my role to build that trust with you. I will adjust my style to fit your needs. I encourage you to call or email. Let's get started.
