About My Clients
I work with adults and older adolescents who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, OCD, or major life changes. Many people come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction. Therapy can help you sort through what is weighing on you, build practical coping tools, and make sense of your experience in a way that supports lasting change.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I provide psychotherapy for adults and older adolescents, and I work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and PTSD, OCD, panic, phobias, stress and burnout, and major life transitions. My approach is integrative and evidence based, drawing from cognitive and behavioral methods, acceptance-based strategies, and narrative and emotion-focused work. In addition to clinical practice, I have taught and published extensively in areas related to trauma, grief, and life transitions, which helps me bring depth and clarity to complex situations. In therapy, that translates into a steady, practical approach that helps you understand what is happening, build tools that fit your life, and move forward with a stronger sense of meaning and direction.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
One belief that guides my work is that even when life feels boxed in and options seem limited, there is almost always a way forward. Often the first step is being able to imagine alternatives before you can take action on them. In sessions, we spend time picturing what change might look like, trying out different ways of seeing a situation, and noticing what feels more workable or more true to you. I also value learning by doing, so our work often includes thought experiments, small real-world steps, and practice facing fears in a paced and intentional way. I welcome conversation about faith and spirituality when it matters to you, including room for doubt and questions. I also believe many people are struggling under real cultural and life pressures, and therapy can include naming those forces and finding healthier ways to respond to them.
