Biography

As human beings we all face struggles in life, and at times, we can really benefit from an outside perspective to help us work through difficulties. From an early age, I developed an interest in understanding how people think and behave. This interest evolved into a desire to help others manage life’s problems.  As a licensed clinical psychologist, I feel privileged to have this opportunity. 

A healthy therapeutic experience is built upon honesty, integrity, and respect. I view therapy as a collaborative process and utilize an integrative approach because it allows me to incorporate various treatment modalities in a way that best suits the needs of my clients. My primary therapeutic orientation is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). As needed, I utilize other evidence-based approaches including: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). I work with my clients to explore their symptoms, as well as their short and long-term goals, in order to determine the best course of treatment. A good therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving symptom reduction as well as healthy pursuit of goals. 
​

I work with individuals 18 and over. My therapy sessions are often a combination of processing stressors and emotional experiences with development of healthy coping skills. I have been trained as a generalist and assist individuals in a number of areas including: depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, relationship issues, self-compassion, communication skills, anger management, life transitions, grief/loss, and trauma.
