Treatment specialties: Trauma and Loss. My clients typically have tried to avoid therapy for months, perhaps, years; therefore, there are layers of issues to address. Most clients are looking for immediate solace to include feeling validated, welcome, and to form a trusting alliance with their therapist. We will establish that very quickly. While many of my clients present with relationship issues, trauma, loss, moral injury, and unresolved grief may be at the root of the problem. I love working with a variety of clients and issues. I look forward to hearing from you.
I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist but my "first" career was in nursing and leadership; therefore, my practice combines all of my knowledge. My experience includes working with first responders, military personnel, healthcare personnel, leaders, older adults. While trained in many therapies to include EMDR, I use an eclectic model to meet your goals.
I am here to help you. I get to work quickly but I also understand that trust must be built and that it is my role to build that trust with you. I will adjust my style to meet your needs. I urge you to reach out and just get started.

I use individualized holistic therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. For example, with trauma work, we'll discuss options, and we may try different options until we find the intervention that works best for you.
