Welcome! I am a licensed psychotherapist with specialized expertise in trauma/PTSD, as well as mood and anxiety-related concerns. With experience in both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, I offer comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and personalized treatment for individuals facing a range of mental health challenges. I work with individuals ages 8+ across the lifespan, and I truly enjoy collaborating with a diverse range of populations.
Having been on the other side of the couch, I understand what it's like to be in the patient role. I know the process can feel daunting, but the great news is that you've already taken the first step! All I ask is that you come with an open mind and a willingness to engage. I’ll meet you where you're at as an equal, and I always welcome your feedback as we work together.
I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space where ALL clients feel empowered to explore their identities, life experiences, and their unique strengths and challenges.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, down-to-earth, and interactive. I draw from a variety of theoretical frameworks and therapeutic modalities, tailoring my approach to suit each client's developmental stage, personal preferences, and unique needs.
At the core of my practice is a person-centered approach, where I prioritize each individual's unique needs and experiences. While I am trained in and utilize a variety of well-established therapies, I believe no single approach is superior to another, as each has its own strengths and limitations. I often draw from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and trauma-focused techniques, tailoring my approach to best support each client. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship we develop is the most powerful tool of all.
