Post-traumatic stress and acute trauma affect how we see ourselves and the world around us. We can become isolated, hopeless, and consumed by negative thoughts. Trauma therapy can help change how you respond to past events and help uncover the source of maladaptive thinking and symptoms of anxiety and depression.

I believe in an eclectic, empathetic, client-centered approach and utilize a wide variety of therapeutic techniques. I specialize in assisting children, adolescents, teens, and young adults develop and maintain effective coping skills, healthy relationships with family, friends, and peers, and increasing recognition of their self-worth. I believe humans are constantly learning to navigate the world around us and seek meaningful, authentic connections with others - that involves art, play, and many other creative endeavors, in and out of therapy.

Therapy is all about the healing and growth translated through the relationships between the patient and the therapist.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist treating children, adolescents and adults. My specialty is in internalizing disorders, specifically depression and anxiety.

Many people struggle with issues in their lives and can benefit from meeting with a trained professional. I help my clients identify problems and work toward a solution.
