Great to meet you!

I’ve spent twenty five years working as a therapist at the US Department of Veteran Affairs, and have worked with people who have experienced military combat, sexual assault and interpersonal violence. I am trained in multiple evidence based therapies that can help you come to terms with your traumatic experience and discover who you are now.

My approach to therapy

I think we can work together toward your goals, as a team. I am ready to hear what you have to say, and find ways for you to end the pain and suffering you are now experiencing.

What you can expect from me

We can explore your history, only as much as you would like to share initially, and then talk about different ways we can work toward the goals you establish.
