I also work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, sexual and child abuse, attachment issues, grieving, and other life stressors.
Clients need to feel comfortable with their therapist in order to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is not something that comes naturally for most people, yet it is critical for a successful outcome. In my practice, I strive to create a safe and trusting relationship with my clients. Through active, compassionate listening, I will help you identify your needs and move toward a plan for healing and change. My hope is for every person, couple, or family to achieve the goal(s) he/she brings to therapy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of concerns including feeling angry, anxious, depressed, or inhibited. My work also includes helping those who may have less specific symptoms, but notice that they may get in their own way of achieving what they want, interpersonally, professionally, or scholastically. I also have considerable experience working with individuals with a traumatic history, including sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Within my practice, I also offer child, adolescent, and adult psychological testing, including emotional, cognitive, and academic assessment.

As a licensed clinical psychologist offering psychotherapy to adults (18 and older), I treat a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and issues stemming back to childhood. My practice attracts clients with a wide variety of concerns and I welcome the variability. For example, I find it incredibly rewarding to help clients who are feeling stuck and afraid due to issues such as unhealthy relationship patterns, alcohol abuse, postpartum depression, etc. I am passionate about helping those facing discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation etc.

I have experience with clinical issues including, but not limited to: trauma/PTSD, sexual/physical assault, childhood abuse, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ, military life, law enforcement, domestic violence, relationship issues, personality disorders, marriage issues, suicidal thoughts, internet pornography/compulsive sexual behaviors, physical illness and more.
Finding a therapist can feel like a daunting task. If you are depressed, anxious, troubled in your relationships, coping with grief, struggling with past or current trauma, feeling hopeless or angry, or just trying to understand yourself better, I may be able to help. I believe we all have the answers we need inside us, but sometimes it takes working with a neutral observer to find those answers. Together we will work toward increased understanding of and ways to cope with whatever problems you would like to discuss. Therapy isn't necessarily easy, but it can help.

I am not for everyone, and that is okay. I show up in session as my quirky self, I am not a fan of toxic positivity, and my initial goal is simply to build a therapeutic rapport with each client. Safe relationships are key to healing trauma, and that is where I shine. My clients usually have significant trauma, have PTSD or C-PTSD, have experienced or are experiencing intimate partner violence, or have a personality disorder. I love helping people who want to work on negative core beliefs with building positive views of self in a way that feels authentic and not over the top.
