I typically work with individuals whose lives have become unmanageable due to exposure to stressors, adversity, and trauma. Encounters with trauma often markedly disrupt a person’s life, making emotions difficult to manage and misdirecting energies away from important life goals and aspirations. Trauma also makes it difficult to navigate life transitions smoothly, establish and maintain close, meaningful relationships, and feel good about oneself. Psychotherapy is a collaborative, empathic endeavor that works to create a positive sense of self. It promotes agency, choice, and freedom, and, ultimately, engenders a life well-lived.
I received my doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the University of Wyoming; I completed postdoctoral training in the treatment of anxiety and posttraumatic stress at the University of Washington. I have over a decade of experience as a VA staff psychologist and as an independent psychologist in private practice.
I have experience working with persons of diverse backgrounds who have encountered a wide range of adversity and trauma, such as sexual and physical assault, child abuse, violent crime, and combat. It would be my privilege to support you in working toward change and the goals and aspirations in which you strive in your life.
