I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, difficult life experiences and transitions, interpersonal and identity issues, grief and loss, and occupational performance. For many people, the idea of reaching out for help takes a lot of courage. It takes strength and trust to share personal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a new person. Clients have given me feedback that my style — authentic, honest, accepting, informal, and good-humored — helps to reduce the nervousness they feel when entering counseling, and builds the trust needed for our therapy.

I would be honored to be part of your journey. I intentionally explore cultural and contextual factors that affect your life. I value using solid, research-based approaches, combining interpersonal methods with cognitive behavioral approaches for more rapid change. I have a warm and direct approach, sharing straightforward observations and recommendations.

I have spent years training psychologists and social workers. I was honored to receive Fellowship status in both the APA and the AGPA. During my career, I co-authored and edited three professional books and made over 40 professional presentations. In my time away from work, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, & spending time with family, friends, and pets.
