Healing starts with hope. Whether you are trying to cope with crisis, loss or other stressful life events or you simply want insight into the factors interfering with living a fuller, more satisfying life, therapy can help. As a psychologist, I provide therapy that facilitates change, growth and renewal in a supportive, confidential environment. I have a straightforward, problem-solving style that is accepting and emotionally engaged. My goal is to partner with you to identify core issues and find solutions to the problems that brought you to therapy while building on your strengths to help you overcome challenges.
Professionally, I have advanced training and experience working with PTSD/trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, OCD, substance use disorders and insomnia. For 6 years, I worked for the VA, helping veterans heal the invisible wounds from combat and other traumatic experiences. Now, I am able to provide therapy to the wider community as well as veterans.
You deserve to be heard, respected and accepted. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you move toward healing and growth.
I love what I do, and that comes through in my work.
Contact me today to learn more about my practice and to schedule an appointment with evenings and Saturday sessions available for your convenience.
