My practice focuses on empowering survivors of trauma. I have received trauma-focused training for 15 years that includes EMDR (Eye-movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to use the most effective treatments to help children, adolescents and women overcome adversity with the strength they possess.

Beneficial psychotherapy provides a safe place for a trusting, collaborative relationship to develop between therapist and client. I provide an empathic 'space' where we can work together to consider the impact of stress, current challenges and past experiences on present difficulties to enable greater self-awareness, enhance quality of life and support behavioral changes that free one up to make the best possible choices for themselves in order to live life to its fullest. With focused attention, questions, observations and comments my clients and I strive together to define and achieve therapeutic goals in either short or long term psychotherapy.

I am a licensed psychologist and my approach with clients is collaborative and warm, in a safe and comfortable environment. I build a relationship with clients to help them gain insights into their struggles and ultimately grow from the experience. I specialize in psychotherapy with adolescents and adults dealing with relationship problems, women's growth, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and with those recovering from trauma and abuse. I also work with many people struggling with transitions and identity issues.
