My number one priority in my therapeutic relationship with you will be to create a warm, compassionate, and supportive space. If you choose to work with me, I will strive to help you find ways to grow, truly live your values, and realize your potential. I have worked with individuals who are experiencing difficulties such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and other challenges. My goal as a practitioner is to understand the life you envision for yourself and to help you build a life worth living by developing a better understanding of yourself and finding new ways to rise above life's difficulties.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with 20 years of specialized clinical experience. My training in a wide variety of modalities (including CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy) guides my therapeutic approach. I look forward to working with you on your journey to growth and healing!
If you are interested in working with me, please schedule an appointment with me through my web site. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your goals for yourself!
