I use a relational and down to earth approach to help clients rediscover and empower themselves. At the heart of my practice is the belief in the potential for every individual, despite their circumstances, to not just survive but thrive amidst the hardships of life. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, 12 as a licensed psychologist. I specialized in chronic mental illness and trauma during my residency and have since expanded to working with adults with a wide variety of presenting concerns. By collaboratively identifying goals, I aim to empower individuals to connect with their values, personal goals, and relational ideals. I utilize a number of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure therapy, and cognitive processing therapy. I recognize every individual has a unique story with unique needs, wants, and desires. Reaching out for therapy can be difficult but rewarding. By creating a safe space to explore the part of life that can at times leave us feeling stuck, we can work towards relief from the stuck points and embraces the parts of life that lead to joy.
