Looking for a new therapist can be quite daunting and time consuming, can't it? I understand how important and crucial it is to find a suitable match. I pride myself on creating a safe, supportive, and open environment for my patients. I work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, emotional disturbances, change of life transitions, chronic pain, relationship concerns, work burnout, personality disorders, intra/interpersonal issues, and general stressors. I utilize evidenced-based therapy including an inclusive and integrated humanistic model that tailors therapy specific to your needs.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, a CADC-II (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor), a Certified Specialist in Anger Management, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I utilize CBT, IPT, ACT, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused, anger management, and relapse prevention. Providers in my office are allies of Racial-Justiced and LGBTQIA+.
Building a rapport is the most important aspect of the therapeutic connection between therapist and patient. I will meet you where you are at! If you are unsure of therapy, we will explore it together and I will support you on your therapeutic journey. I am here to help you cope with whatever you are experiencing, no matter how big or small!
