Our lives are often filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, most of which we can usually navigate quite well on our own. Sometimes, the challenges we encounter can become overwhelming and we may need help to get through them. And sometimes talking to someone who understands what you’re going through and speaks your language can make all the difference. I'm a clinical psychologist and military veteran with specializations in military psychology, addictive disorders, trauma treatment, and treatment of anxiety and depression-related disorders.
I have worked extensively with LQBTQIA+ clients and provide gender-affirming care for those who seek counseling and letters of support for gender-confirming surgeries.My approach is heavily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Enhancement.
I have extensive experience working with those struggling with addiction with a strong focus on problem gambling and gambling disorder. I am experienced in trauma-related treatments such as Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy as well as dual-diagnosis approaches to treating substance use disorders and trauma at the same time.
