When is the last time you laughed? Does your life feel colorless or bland? Depression, anxiety, or trauma can steal away your vibrance and connection with yourself and others. Life is best lived in full color, with meaning and joy. As a therapist, my goal is to help you love your life again. I've specialized in treating chronic depression and severe mental health conditions with success defined as improved relationships, self-acceptance, and re-engagement in meaningful activities. Through genuine collaboration, we will add vibrance to your life. My therapeutic style is relational and embraces our common humanity.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in delivering highly effective evidence-based treatments for a range of complex and chronic mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, psychosis, substance abuse, and trauma. I integrate mindfulness and compassion-based approaches into my practice.
I look forward to collaborating with you on your journey toward a thriving and socially connected life. As a fellow life traveler, my guidance is humbly offered from a place of practice and self-reflection. Along my own journey, I seek to stretch myself to new limits. My current stretch is taking improv level 3, which promotes laughter, play, and wellbeing.
