Life is complicated and sometimes a challenge to manage. Through therapy, I help clients learn how to identify, accept, and cope with life challenges that come their way and assist with helping them develop the skills needed to live their best life. My experience includes helping clients work through issues related to stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, self-esteem, disordered eating, self-injury, and relationships, along with providing guidance for educational and vocational pursuits. With therapy, clients can learn how to identify their goals and create the life they want.

Although I spend a lot of time conducting psychological assessments, I truly enjoy the time I get to spend as a therapist walking through life with my clients. At one point in time or another, all of us struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, big-emotions and overall ineffectiveness in our life. In therapy, we not only spend time discussing ongoing issues and current difficulties, but we also focus on themes in our lives and the ways that our thinking patterns can inhibit our ability to create the unique life that we want to live.

My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs.

Existential dread, or adversity in everyday life antagonizes everyone at some point. Life seems to happen all the time, then, when it rains, it pours. Sometimes we suffer more than we triumph, and when we do, its easy to get lost. Seeking safety in our most vulnerable times can appear impossible, but it is not. I offer a safe space and understanding. My ideal client base are people who are seeking solutions, and willing to do the necessary actions to create the changes that they most prefer. When there is a problem, there are always multiple solutions. The goal is to help everyone no matter how complicated the problems/issues are.

Counseling can be daunting for some, especially when your child is involved. What’s my first step? How do I choose the right counselor for myself, my child, or my family? I graduated from Walden University with a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I incorporate CBT, play therapy interventions, expressive arts, and integrative therapeutic orientations. I don't hav an ideal client because every single client is different. What works for one client won't work for every client. I am able to work closely with you and your child to make sure everyone feels involved and heard in the therapeutic relationship.

Life is hard. Change is harder. We all have moments in life when we feel overwhelmed, confused, or stuck. During these times, people are often unsure of how to proceed and may feel burdened with the pressure of wanting things to be the ‘right’ way. When it comes to individual well-being, there is no right or wrong way. Therapy is a safe place to express your emotions, gain insights into your thoughts and behaviors through self-exploration, and develop healthier coping strategies so you can be your most authentic self in all aspects of your daily life.

Forensic Psychology Therapists
How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behavior that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.
Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.
Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behavior as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.
How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
