About My Clients

The clients I match best with are those struggling with anxiety or depression, those dealing with significant stress or life challenges/transitions, as well as those who are seeking help with past trauma. I practice trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ friendly services. I do not discriminate clients, and will respect how you identify yourself. I will always work to ensure that therapy is a safe space for everyone.

My Background and Approach

I have 19 years of practice experience, including 12+ years as a licensed psychologist. I have worked at general and trauma-focused practice sites, as well as 14 years in a hospital setting treating a wide-range of concerns. I believe that therapy should feel like a real conversation with someone who is invested in your success. I have tools I will give you, but I also want to ensure that you feel heard because that is an important part of this too. I want clients to feel free to discuss what is on their mind. Therapy isn't about editing yourself. I try to be approachable, practical, and grounded with you, while also giving you skills and tools to create meaningful change. I'm drawn to evidence-based therapy methods including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness Skills as these approaches help people to notice and understand what is happening both inside and around them, while also building practical tools that support meaningful change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that the right kind of therapy has the potential to be life changing. Clients can break out of patterns they've been stuck in and start to grow and thrive in ways they hadn't imagined. Ultimately that growth and positive change is at the heart of this work, and it is why this matters so much. Therapy can help you understand and be kind to yourself, build skills to navigate the challenges you face, and feel more confident in your day-to-day life. I believe in your worth and value. I believe your experiences matter. I believe you deserve respect, and I believe that even the strongest people need support at times. I believe you have the capacity to grow, create meaningful change, and become the best version of yourself. All people bring their own experiences and wisdom to the therapy room. I believe that all clients deserve kindness and respect, and I believe that the needs you have in your life are valid. Please reach out if you desire a consultation.
