**I have daytime availability Monday-Friday and morning availability on Fridays.** I practice in an integrative fashion, combining aspects of psychodynamic, relational, cognitive-behavioral and existential perspectives. I view therapy as a collaborative process and work with my clients to help create and maintain a safe space to explore and interact with one's thoughts and feelings. I seek to help my clients live fully and authentically and see therapy as an opportunity to learn new ways of walking in the world that bring happiness and fulfillment.
I utilize insight-oriented and present-focused techniques to help my clients work on long-term, as well as more immediate, relief of their symptoms.While I help clients with many psychological difficulties, I specialize in working with grief/loss, guilt/shame, anger and trauma, including relational/developmental trauma, combat and military sexual trauma.
Additionally, I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) and Skills Training in Affect and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR), evidence-based interventions proven effective in treating both chronic and single-incident trauma.
