I currently have the privilege of being the Executive Clinical Director and co-founder of Skyway Behavioral Health, a Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient behavioral health center targeting complex trauma, PTSD, mood, anxiety, and eating disorders as well as co-occurring personality disorders.
Many people come to me saying that they don't recognize themselves anymore or that they are not living the life they want to be living. They might feel plagued with negative thoughts, fear, anxiety and overall feel stuck because the things they were using to cope in the past are not helping them now. If you have been feeling this way, you are not alone! I have spent my career working in clinical leadership and providing care for clients struggling with eating disorders, PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression & body image concerns. I believe in providing empathy + evidenced-based treatments and the power of healing in community.

Therapy is a collaborative process and I work with clients to create a safe and supportive environment so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I work with each client to identify their own goals and develop a plan for achieving them. I am committed to helping clients identify and address the underlying factors contributing to their mental struggles and supporting them in developing healthy coping strategies.

Much of the work of any talk therapy is trying to do things differently. Which is hard work! Often long-term work. I specialize in treating adults with longstanding difficulties, including depression and anxiety, unstable self-esteem, and loneliness. Many of the people I work with struggle in interpersonal relationships and have histories of trauma.

I aim to create a space that feels warm, open, and welcoming to all who enter. By recognizing that you are the expert on your own life, I take a collaborative approach to make sure I am meeting you where you are at. While I believe that therapy should be individualized to the person, my approach is anchored in psychodynamic and relational roots and also incorporates cognitive behavioral and DBT skills as needed. I think that this combination works well to explore your past and present patterns as a way to identify how those experiences still impact you today.

Most people seek therapy because they are disappointed in a relationship, or have lost someone important to them. Often, this experience reactivates old hurts and losses which weaken feelings of self-worth. I work to help that person restore a sense of self-appreciation, to deepen their self-understanding, and enhance their relationships with others.

Modern life presents a number of challenges for adults and families. It can be difficult to balance all of the conflicting demands, especially if we are also trying to care for others or carrying the weight of past traumas or other unresolved issues. This can lead to increasing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger, and can interfere with the relationships we value and need. None of us are perfect, but we all deserve the chance to live a life consistent with our values and goals.

Their goals are to work through their current situation by building skills and developing insight together. We often seek therapy when things are not going well only to realize it is a tool that can help us reach our goals no matter the circumstance. I am a firm believer that taking the step to care for your mental health will undoubtedly change so many aspects of your life, and I hope to provide support as you continue to build your skills and work toward your goals.

I've worked with children, teenagers, and adults struggling with significant emotional and behavioral challenges for 16 years and have found that no matter the difficulty things can improve with hard work. Whether one's goal is emotion regulation, behavior change, or the exploration and cultivation of identity and meaning, the use of a therapeutic relationship based on honesty, authenticity, and mutual respect can have a profound impact on one's life course. While this work is challenging it can be life changing, allowing a person to develop their talents and gifts in ways that enrich their lives and the lives of others.

The unique experiences, expectations, and traits of each person require an individualized approach to psychotherapy. As I work with an individual my approach may include elements of modern psychoanalysis, cognitive behavior therapy, family therapy, and client centered counseling. I utilize recent research in neuro-psychology to inform the various theories of psychotherapy. Faculty members, students, and creative individuals, as well as foreign nationals and first and second generation Americans are groups with whom I have significant interest and experience. A special interest of mine is facilitating the growth of individuals who want to change long term problems with self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, anxiety and depression.
