Great to meet you!

I am a Doctor of Psychology specializing in Clinical Psychology. I provide psychotherapy as well as psychological, neuropsychological, educational, and forensic evaluations—including cases involving child abuse/neglect and divorce or custody matters. I offer diagnostic assessments and make recommendations for medication management, school or workplace accommodations, disability claims, and more. I work with individuals of all ages and diagnose a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, autism, intellectual disabilities, learning disorders, emotional and behavioral challenges, and brain-related injuries. I am also a military veteran, mom of an orange cat, love nature, enjoy traveling.

My approach to therapy

Being empathetic, nonjudgmental and providing a safe space for my patients is half the work. Utilizing the best treatment modality in collaboration with my patients is the second step. I also help my patients gain insight and utilize the right tools with confidence as a pathway to success. Modalities utilized include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

What you can expect from me

A renewed sense of hope, confidence and wellbeing.
