I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and board certified sexologist with over a decade of experience serving military personnel, first responders, and their families. I specialize in working with individuals impacted by bipolar disorders, personality disorders, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). My approach integrates an understanding of the complexities of trauma and systemic issues, using psychodynamic principles to foster deep, meaningful change.
I incorporate a variety of interventions to assist clients with identifying negative thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior to improve interpersonal relationships and overall quality of life. Through mindfulness-based strategies tailored to your unique situation, we can work together to restore balance in your life.
I strive to provide my clients with a warm, judgment free, compassionate environment to unload and process their unique experiences. A place where one can speak honestly about anything causing discomfort, anxiety, or emotional fatigue. Pull up a seat, get comfortable, and together we can work through the obstacles preventing you from feeling your best.
