Life is the ultimate teacher, and in my case, it sparked my passion for helping and guiding people who have experienced trauma, struggling with chronic pain, sleep and/or other mental health conditions. After serving two decades in military medicine pivoting to becoming a psychologist as my second career post-retirement seemed to be a natural choice, given my desire to help others and the growing need that I saw every day. My hope is to be able to help make the lives of others better through care and compassion that fits their individual needs and goals. Human beings are not one size fits all so why should therapy be?
At Lilac and Raven Psychology LLC we live by the motto Resilience, Renewal, Recovery because it is my sincere belief that life can get better for everyone, and we can all become stronger for it.
This starts with what you as an individual need from me as a psychologist and in therapy. If you are interested in individualized care and treatment and/or would like to see if we are a good fit, please reach out for a free 15-min phone consultation. You can also check out my website for additional details on my practice.
