Let's figure this out together. I believe that psychotherapy is a space where you can access your most authentic self and unapologetically be you. As a psychologist, I create a safe space and the connection needed to activate the pathways to healing. I invite you to stay present with your emotions and strengthen your self-compassion regardless of the challenges you are facing. I specialize in the treatment of complex PTSD, anxiety depression. The LGBTQIA+ community is affirmed at my practice. I welcome federal workers, mental health and medical professionals. E-mail contact is preferred. I am an out of network provider.
I use integrated therapeutic techniques including psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I incorporate evidence-based mindfulness therapy into individual treatment. I run a "here and now" process group with Catherine Grothus, LPC for those looking to improve relational connections and share the emotional stories of their lives.
Finally, I encourage new parents, early, mid and late career professionals and those struggling with grief to learn how to manage your struggles with the mindfulness-based approach that I provide. I regularly treat individuals struggling with PTSD, anxiety, panic disorder, grief, depression, perimenopause/menopause and social anxiety.
