Are you feeling stuck? Maybe you’re having the same experiences or relationships again and again despite your efforts otherwise. Or perhaps you’ve been through something terrible and want to escape the grip the past has had on your life. Whether you’re looking for information or transformation, you are not alone. I’m a Licensed Psychologist and Air Force veteran with experience treating adults with a wide variety of mental health concerns. I have a particular interest in helping those who have experienced trauma, those who haven’t benefitted fully from previous therapy, and those whose symptoms have made recovery challenging.
I am trained in many therapy styles, but have seen the most success when care is tailored to one’s unique struggles. I lean on my advanced training in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Therapy (ISTDP) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in an integrated approach designed to adjust therapy to match one’s exact needs moment to moment without overwhelming them.
Beyond diagnoses and labels, your struggles tell the story of the emotional hardships in your life. They also illustrate your strengths and attempts to navigate those difficulties alone. Treatment can seem scary. With the proper guide and roadmap, it doesn’t have to stay that way. Feeling better truly is possible, so let’s walk that path together.
