I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in the treatment of adolescents, adults, & couples. With extensive training and experience in addressing mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, and relationship issues, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive care to help individuals lead happier, healthier lives. I have a strong background in working with members of the U.S. Military, as well as their spouses and families, recognizing the unique challenges they face and am currently pursuing specialized certification in treating perinatal & postpartum mood & anxiety disorders to support individuals during important life transitions.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based treatments tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual. My primary goal is to assist clients in navigating life's transitions, fostering a deeper self-understanding, and providing effective coping strategies for the challenges of both the past and the future.
In the therapeutic process, I prioritize the creation of a warm and collaborative environment, recognizing that positive change is most likely to occur within the safety and trust of the therapeutic relationship. I exclusively offer telehealth services and to make my services as accessible as possible, I offer flexible fee structures and appointment times.
