I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years’ experience in counseling with ages 4 and older as well as military and first responders. My areas of clinical focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, autism spectrum disorder, grief and loss, anger management, and adjustment difficulties. I uses techniques and strategies proven to effectively treat my client’s concerns from primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy.
My approach to therapy is guided by the belief that the therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for change so finding the right therapist gives the greatest opportunity for success. I create an environment emphasizing trust, respect, integrity, and compassion. Because change can be a difficult and sometimes painful process, I am straight-forward, action based and committed to using evidenced based approaches working toward making my client's mental health journey both effective and efficient.
My hope is that clients end each session feeling encouraged and empowered to work on their mental health journey in future sessions and in between sessions utilizing the skills and techniques learned in the sessions.
