I am a psychologist with 20+ years of experience helping adults and older teens overcome challenges to lead more balanced, fulfilling lives. Therapy is an opportunity to explore how you arrived here and chart a path forward. Working together, we will uncover tools and strategies to use both in and outside the session. Psychotherapy is usually once weekly and can be short or long-term. Brainspotting is efficient and can often be a brief treatment.
As a seasoned psychologist, I use mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I especially enjoy working with moms, dads, and those trying to conceive. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma and am certified in perinatal mental health and Brainspotting, a somatic therapy approach.
In my years of experience, I am grateful to have helped a diverse range of people and issues. I bring warmth, humor, gentle directness, and expertise to work. I look forward to connecting with you to see how I can be helpful.
