Did you experience trauma in childhood or adolescence? Are you still experiencing stress, anxiety, fear, or depression? Do you feel misunderstood by others, judged, or find it challenging to connect with others? Therapy is a safe place where you can understand yourself better and learn to cope with these thoughts and feelings, which may be interfering with your happiness, health, and relationships. Whether you are struggling with work or school, I can provide you with support and coping strategies to help you through this difficult time. Treatment is evidence-based, trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-focused.
I consider individual, social, and family strengths and positive adaptations to stress, such as personal and spiritual growth, creativity, genuineness, empathy, bravery, grit, and determination. I am a psychologist, university professor, neuroscience researcher, and writer experienced in providing assessment, diagnostic evaluation and treatment.
