I utilize evidence-based approaches including but not limited to CBT and ACT. The spiritual heart of my work, though, aligns best with a model called IFS which helps us makes sense of our internal conflicts, contradictions, and self-undermining behavior. I work to support my clients in releasing from well-worn patterns of self-criticism, anxiety, irritability, guilt, or sadness that keep them stuck, to establish more vital ways of engaging in the world.

I am a licensed psychologist and have worked within the behavioral health field for the past 20 years. I seek to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment in which adult clients (18+) can better understand and overcome their struggles, recognize their strengths, and work toward attaining their goals. I have a special interest in the treatment of anxiety disorders (panic, phobias, OCD, GAD), depression, and trauma/PTSD using cognitive behavioral therapy and interventions demonstrated by research to reduce debilitating symptoms.

In the therapeutic space, the truth belongs to the client, not to the therapist's right to define it. My practice centers on addressing the fractures caused by trauma, capitalism, and materialism—forces that separate us from each other and the natural world. These fractures have led to an emotional and spiritual famine, manifesting as widespread anxiety, violence, addiction, and chronic loneliness.

When faced with life’s unavoidable stressors, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The struggles of day to day life can often leave individuals feeling frustrated, hopeless, and powerless to work towards change. I enjoy helping clients feel understood and overcome fears that have been preventing them from living life to its fullest. Sometimes simply knowing that the worst case scenario won’t destroy us makes a daunting goal seem more attainable.

You are going through a life transition and finding it more difficult than you imagined. You feel out of place, different from your coworkers, peers, or family members. Stress makes it tough for you to function at your best and you are burnt out. You find yourself feeling depressed, anxious, angry, lonely, or misunderstood.

We all want to feel comfortable and safe. More specifically, most people want to feel effective and confident, especially when it comes to relationships. We want to feel included, appreciated, and loved. Sometimes these things may seem to be out of reach, or you may be struggling with other challenges that leave you feeling stuck, discouraged, or hopeless. Seeking support from someone with expertise relating to the human experience may be what you need to feel more empowered and in control of your life.
