I am a licensed clinical psychologist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with experience treating clients from all walks of life. I believe that therapy should be a collaboration between therapist and client, so while I bring expertise in psychological research and treatment to the table, you are the expert on your own life. It takes immense courage to seek treatment, and it is your strengths, values, and commitment that will ultimately allow you to overcome the challenges you face.
My role in this process is to provide guidance and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that is not only practical for your specific needs but will allow you to improve your life in meaningful ways. While I have experience treating a wide variety of conditions, I focus on counseling adults and adolescents suffering from trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia. My primary therapeutic focus includes CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and mindful interventions. However, I may incorporate other modes of therapy depending upon my clients’ unique needs and circumstances.
At the end of the day, I am dedicated to helping you build new skills as you utilize your personal strengths and experiences to progress towards recovery and growth.
I utilize components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy within a multi-systemic framework to help adolescents (age 14+), college students, and adults who are struggling with:
- Trauma
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Anxiety Disorders
- Major Depression
- Agoraphobia
