Tired? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Feeling like you don't measure up? Worried God can't use you? My approach to treating women with anxiety is to dive into your story and help you identify where it all started. Stressful childhood, lots of pressure, peer rejections, and empathy for the woes of the world will lead to anxiety. Maybe your upbringing lead to unhealthy ways of thinking, or rejection lead to beating yourself up. Better understanding your story and your internal dialogue will loosen the grip of anxiety and overwhelm. Understanding how your brain works allows for few changes to your thinking and your routine to help you thrive.

I provide expert evaluations in criminal and civil cases.
I have many years of experience working with individuals who struggle with mental health and addiction problems. I use a skill-based approach to treatment called dialectical behavioral therapy. This type of treatment focuses on learning how to live in the moment, manage interpersonal relationships effectively, handle life's challenges with grace and competence, and understand and deal with feelings in constructive ways. Using my training and diagnostic knowledge I will develop a comprehensive treatment plan that emphasizes relapse prevention and living a life worth living. I work with a team of other mental health professionals including psychiatrists, and counselors.

Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the forefront of my work, though I’m aware this looks differently with each of my clients. I see the process of change as occurring in the context of relationships and through exploration of patterns that may be preventing one from living a fulfilling life. Through the discovery of these patterns, we can begin to understand how to live life more genuinely. I am a relational and psychodynamic therapist who incorporates various therapeutic approaches and interventions, including cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques.
