I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in providing quality, informed psychotherapy as well as diagnostic assessment. It is truly amazing how life changing the therapy process can be, and I am committed to working in a genuine and collaborative way in order to help people through their path of recovery. I help people achieve symptom relief but also get to the root source of the problem for lasting positive change and improved life satisfaction.

I use a flexible approach to best meet the individual's personal needs and goals, including extra support and guidance through life transitions and adjustments and evidence-based treatments to target specific areas of difficulty. I have particular expertise in addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, and adjustment difficulties.
I encourage mindfulness and relaxation strategies for overall wellness and stress reduction. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have specialized training in Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Finding the right fit of therapist is key- I encourage you to contact me for a free consultation.
