I am a licensed clinical psychologist with the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness (www.cbtmindful.com). I have over two decades of experience providing a variety of research-based treatments at all levels of care with clients from all age groups and backgrounds. The primary focus of my work has been treating adults and adolescents with anxiety and mood disorders, PTSD, OCD, substance use disorders, and medical conditions. I provide evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gottman Method couples therapy, among others.

I identify as creative, innovative, and authentic. Along with providing direct care to clients, my experience has also been leading clinical teams in diverse community mental health settings. I have a Ph.D. in Psychology, am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, and a National Certified Counselor. My specialties include trauma recovery for individuals and couples. I consider myself an innovative therapist. I utilize holistic psychotherapy approaches such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Schedule your free consultation & guidance session! Whether it is addiction, codependency, trauma, depression, or anxiety, nothing should get in your way of you living your best life!

As a therapist, my ultimate goal is to empower you to make positive changes, develop healthy coping skills, challenge negative thought patterns and ultimately achieve long-lasting personal growth. I can help you navigate relationship conflicts, life transitions, career issues, addictions, and life imbalances.

Through my years as mental health clinician, I have learned that change is not possible in isolation. It would be my privilege to assist in your change/growth process. I offer an eclectic approach to psychotherapy with an extensive background in the treatment of trauma.  My training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Dr. Bruce Perry's work The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics has enabled me to specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD and many other diagnosis.

SATURDAY appointments now available! Counseling can be a marvelous way to assist you or a loved one to do better and feel better. Sometimes our coping skills fall short of our needs, and feeling like there are no more options can absolutely feel like hitting rock bottom. But there is hope. Someone does care. I have, myself, had many challenges in life and have, from time to time, sought help in counseling. Needing help does not mean you are weak: it means you are ready to find answers.

Everyone possesses resiliency though we may not realize it in times of hardship or emotional suffering. Sometimes it takes a different kind of conversation to identify and amplify this resilience to put you back in the driver seat of your life. I use a solution focused, cognitive behavioral, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) approach tailored to help you meet your therapeutic goals.

I've worked in the mental health field for over 24 years. I specialize in treating unresolved trauma issues, as well as depression, stress and anxiety. Traumatic issues include childhood abuse (physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect), sexual assault (including military), crime/theft, car accidents, grief/loss, combat, first responders/medical professionals, veterans (including moral injury) and poor leadership. My experience has taught me that most of the time depression and anxiety are unresolved emotional wounds that haven't been fully addressed.

I know the idea of therapy can be scary, overwhelming, and even intimidating. I absolutely understand and acknowledge the feeling of awkwardness that some may have toward therapy. I am passionate about working with individuals who have concerns around stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, grief, and life transitions/work-life balance. Support may look different for each person, while some may want to focus on building coping strategies, others may seek a deeper healing process. One of our first steps will be building awareness of your needs, the change you want in your life, and identifying your goals.
