As a researcher and clinician, I focus on the intersection of identity, trauma, and resilience. My work internationally investigating trauma, health systems, and suicide risk factors have shaped my understanding of community and recovery. In my clinical practice, I specialize in treating complex conditions like borderline personality disorder, chronic post traumatic stress reactions, obsessions, compulsion, relationship problems, and existential threats. My practice centers helping individuals, couples, and families in reclaiming their sense of self and community.
I provide psychotherapy alongside evaluations. Testing can provide a compass for treatment, with detailed recommendations for services. My therapeutic style is open, integrative, and supportive, rooted in the belief that authentic relationships drive change. I try to ensure clients have a precise understanding of their needs, with support for decisionmaking.
I often leverage prolonged exposure, empathy, and deep analysis to help clients move through recovery, and I would welcome the opportunity to partner with you! Please note that as a psychologist I become reasonably accountbale for your safety as soon as we begin speaking; therefore, first meetings are often held after the completion of intake documents.
