Hello, I'm Dr. Walters, a licensed Clinical Psychologist. Ready to make some changes? Let's work together to get you on the path to managing mental health concerns, and recovery from substance use disorders. Over the past 26 years I've helped folks - probably much like yourself - develop the skills to get sober and maintain recovery from drugs and alcohol and manage co-occurring mental health concerns. I've had the opportunity to assist adults of all ages, races, cultures, religious/spiritual backgrounds, and many within the LBTQ+ community to create the foundation needed to manage their mental health and finally stop using drugs and alcohol. Are you concerned mental health symptoms such as depression or anxiety contribute to your substance use? It's quite common. We can talk about that as well and discuss strategies to help you manage symptoms and heal. If substance use is not a concern, but you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or trauma- I can help get you on the path to being balanced and healthy. I look forward to meeting you.

Congratulations on seeking therapy! Most people who seek therapy or counseling report that they experience an improvement in mood and anxiety. Timing is everything and I can generally see you within 48 hours. Unfortunately, many folks have to wait weeks to see a therapist. I believe I am easy to talk to and approachable. Therapists are excellent listeners and I will be honest with you, rather than just agreeing or dismissing your opinions. If you see me and we establish a plan, you will be able to determine how much you need and for how long. Since most of what I am doing involves Telehealth, I ask that you cancel ahead of time if you cannot meet per schedule. I will do this as well. As your therapist, I will: Respect your privacy Respect your schedule Respect your opinions and values Respect the severity and urgency of your difficulties Make myself available when you need assistance Help you find answers and solutions rather than feeling “stuck"

My treatment approach is one of curiosity and compassion so that during our sessions, you are free to slow down and safely practice mindfulness and self-care.

We will explore your inner thought-life through mindfulness and cognitive work. We will identify skills, strengths, and supports that can grow through patient practice between sessions. With evidence-based techniques, we will find and navigate paths so you can reclaim joy and walk in peace. I am privileged to walk alongside you during your journey.

I’ve spent the last 14 years working in community mental health—walking alongside people who’ve carried heavy stories, survived deep hurt, and kept going when the world didn’t make it easy. Folks who’ve survived trauma, systems that failed them, deep loneliness, and years of having to shrink themselves just to get by. I specialize in complex trauma—the kind that doesn’t come from one event, but from years of not being safe, not being seen, or having to constantly shift how you show up in the world to fit in, keep the peace, or avoid harm—whether that meant people-pleasing, staying small, or never letting your real self be fully known. I show up to this work with honesty, compassion, and deep respect for your autonomy. I won’t ask you to retell your trauma unless you want to. I won’t rush your process—but I won’t sugarcoat things either. I believe that healing doesn’t mean changing who you are—it means coming home to yourself: To your strength. Your boundaries. Your voice. And the parts of you that were buried along the way. This is a space where you don’t have to hide, shrink, or translate yourself. I practice from an LGBTQ+ affirming and anti-oppressive lens, which means I’m always working to make this a space where all of you are welcome—including your identities, your history, your culture, and the ways you’ve had to navigate a world that doesn’t always make room for you. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “not enough,” this space was made for you. You’ve done what you needed to do to survive. Now it’s time to stop surviving quietly—and start living boldly.
