Great to meet you!

I am a Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing effective, specialized psychological services for Adolescents/Adults. I facilitate Psychological Evaluations/Testing, Psychotherapy, and Mental Health/Performance Coaching. I take an Individualized, Empowerment and Wellness-based approach whereby I incorporate brief, solutions-focused interventions to address the overall psychological needs of a person or family to help reduce suffering and bring about optimal Well-being and long-term Recovery.

Often my caseload is full, however I would be able to match you with one of our Associate Therapists who share the same values and evidenced based approach to care. You would be able to work with these therapists while using your insurance benefits and/or for a low out-of-pocket rate, for those that would prefer to maximize confidentiality and autonomy in their therapy process.

My approach to therapy

We promote collaborative, integrative care centered upon the symptoms and needs of each client, while including evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

What you can expect from me

Life is challenging and we can find ourselves in a place of suffering for a myriad of reasons. We are all worthy of support and hope. We are all capable of resiliency and growth. We all deserve strong mental health and to develop the tools needed to empower ourselves to cultivate a strong sense of well-being for ourselves, our families and our communities. Thank you for taking the time to consider our Care Team in choosing a support person for yourself or family member.
