You constantly feel on edge. Your emotions go from zero to one hundred. You don’t mean to blow up, but you feel like you cannot control your anger. Any little thing can set you off. You find yourself checking the lock again, even though you did just a minute ago. No where feels safe. You feel guilty, ashamed, and angry most of the time and like you are barely surviving the day. You want to connect again with others, but it feels impossible. Many of these symptoms are common for those who have experienced traumatic event(s).
As a Clinical Psychologist who works closely with military, Veterans, first-responders, as well as survivors of rape, childhood abuse, and domestic violence, I can help you to heal and process the memories and feelings that keep you feeling isolated. I offer options like Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and ACT for Trauma.
I often work with folks struggling with trauma/depression, trauma/eating, trauma/anxiety, or trauma/substance use. You’ve made it this far. I know it can be overwhelming to find a therapist. I’m so grateful for you and only wish you to be well. If you’d like to connect, please reach out to me today for a free consultation.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my practice as I have found both to be effective for clients. That said, we'll explore together the most appropriate way to approach what's bringing you into therapy. My goal is to tailor the treatment to you so that it is most helpful.
