I work with individuals from adolescence through adulthood, and specialize in Health Psychology. I am most concerned with the psychological, behavioral, and cultural factors that contribute to health and wellness. I have been in private practice since 2014 and completed training in EMDR in 2016. Treating physical and emotional trauma is my primary focus, specifically in first responder populations.
As a family member of first responders, I believe in the importance of helping people who help people. I provide education and training in the areas of acute stress and PTSD in police, fire, and EMS industries. Additionally I treat depression, anxiety, eating disorder, self-injury, and personality disorder diagnoses.
I offer individual, couple, and family therapy, as well as consultation services. I will happily provide a statement for you to submit to your insurance provider. Reduced rates are available to members of helping professions and students seeking supervision for licensure. Please contact me for more information.
