About My Clients
My ideal client is any person or couple who is experiencing psychological distress that is interfering with their lives and is ready to partner with a compassionate professional to work towards healing, recovery, and growth. I am particularly well suited for folks with a history of traumatic experiences. As a PSYPACT member, I can provide psychotherapy via telehealth across 43 states, and in person services in Arizona.
My Background and Approach
I completed an APA accredited Ph.D. program in 2020, an APA Accredited Internship with the VA, and an APA accredited Postdoctoral Fellowship with the VA specializing in trauma-focused therapy. I treat most conditions, but specialize in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and related conditions and Posttraumatic stress disorder. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Written Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy for Depression, and several other evidence-based psychotherapies. My training in structured and time limited interventions allows me to be highly effective in partnering with you to reach your goals. My job is to make myself obsolete as quickly as possible. I am happy to join you on your healing journey for as long as it takes, but my ultimate goal is to teach you to be your own psychologist so that your growth can continue long after our relationship ends.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in tailoring evidence-based interventions to you by considering, educating myself on, and incorporating aspects of your individual and cultural identities into our work together. From that foundation, I help you see your symptoms as something you are struggling with rather than something that defines who you are. We then work together to decrease their presence, and the extent to which they influence your life.
