I am a licensed clinical psychologist who treats depression, anxiety and panic attacks, grief, trauma and PTSD, chronic pain and illness (i.e. Parkinson's and cancer), divorce recovery, parenting skills, managing life transition stages, aging, LGBTQIA+ support, stress, weight loss struggles, self-esteem, and communication skills. My approach to therapy is based on a foundation of building a relationship and connection with patients, in order to provide a safe place to talk about the hard things in Iife.
I specialize in treating 1/ depression and anxiety, 2/ trauma and PTSD (including traumatic grief), 3/ chronic pain and illness, and 4/ transgender mental health and gender affirmation.
I view being a therapist as that of a fellow traveler journeying with the patient toward a better life and health. I am convinced that the greatest tool to healing is being seen and heard with compassion, and remind my patients that they are not alone; this is the ultimate balm to the wounds of trauma and pain.
