Great to meet you!

I am a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of trauma-related disorders and sexual functioning. I have received specialized training in a variety of treatment modalities, including EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have also completed specialized certification in the area of sex therapy to address difficulties in sexual function and its impact on other areas of your life.

My approach to therapy

In therapy, I draw on my training in approaches that are backed by research. However, I also want to connect on a human level and believe that there is immense meaning that can come from being seen by another person. While I often work from a trauma-based perspective, I know that you are more than your past. Also - your life doesn’t just stop because you’re in therapy. We will work to understand the impact of your past while also applying insights and tools to improve your day-to-day experience.

What you can expect from me

With clients, I work to develop a strong relationship built through open communication, humor, and kindness. Clients find me to be easy going, approachable, and sincere in my care about their growth and progress. I love being a part of clients’ “aha” moments when they start to better understand and have compassion for themselves and I hope to be a part of yours.
