I work through a holistic, integrative lens. Whether I’m completing an evaluation or providing therapy, it's not one size fits all. Clients most often express appreciation for my ability to validate and push for change at the same time. Sometimes I work with interns, primarily providing evaluation/assessment services, such as violence and sexual risk, forensic mitigation, personality, cognitive, adaptive functioning, etc. I do offer individual therapy and sometimes group, though it may be with a Master’s or Doctorate level intern under my supervision. I specialize in working with older teenage to older adult persons.

Healing is possible — even when it doesn't feel that way yet. If you're navigating relational pain or complex trauma, you may find yourself stuck in patterns that feel impossible to change, struggling to connect deeply with the people you love, or wondering if things can really be different. Maybe past therapy hasn't quite clicked, or maybe you're just beginning to consider it. Either way, I work with individuals and couples who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and build the relationships they've been longing for.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
