Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have extensive experience helping people overcome challenges (including significant trauma). In addition to my private practice, I work at a non-profit agency where I supervise and train therapists. I am certified in several evidenced based practices (which means that there have been studies that show that these types of therapy practices work). I facilitate a supervision group for therapists who are practicing trauma therapy.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is transformative and challenging. I create a safe, nurturing space that allows growth to unfold. Together we will develop trust, explore, face challenges, and build new pathways to help you thrive. I will provide you with the tools that empower you to make the changes you are ready to make.

​

I look at how past relationships and experiences are impacting the present. Once we figure out where the undesired patterns are coming from, we will actively work to create long-lasting change.

What you can expect from me

During our time together, we will collaboratively develop goals and revisit them every so often. I strive to help you meet these goals so you can "graduate" from treatment in a timely manner.
