Hello! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with 30 years of experience. I have extensive clinical, research, and academic experience working with people who have experienced trauma and serious mental illness. I work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and relationship concerns, helping them discover deeper fulfillment through healing and building healthier relationships. I'm relationally focused and can hold space for those in need. I am skilled at getting to the heart of the matter and working at a pace that feels right to you. Let today be day one of your healing journey instead of someday.
As an experienced clinician, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds in a multitude of clinical settings. I see individuals, couples, families, healthcare workers, and first responders and provide Discernment Counseling for couples. I am Booking Weekend Discernment Counseling Intensives. My PSYPACT license allows me to practice in 42 states.
Recently, a client shared these sacred words for our work together: "comfort, trust, and safety." I am ready to help you navigate the turbulent waters of your journey, instill hope, and help you develop new ways of coping with challenges. Our work will be specific to your needs in a place where you feel seen, heard, and honored.
