My communication style is very calming towards my clients during therapy.

I’m a psychologist who specializes in working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and neurodivergence. I offer therapy and comprehensive psychological evaluations (attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), autism, and learning differences) in a collaborative, affirming space. My goal is to help clients find clarity, resilience, and alignment. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). I also provide psychological testing.

As a dedicated mental health professional, I specialize in providing comprehensive care through individual therapy, family therapy, and group therapy.

I am a supporter who is dedicated to understanding the human experience and helping individuals achieve positive life changes. I believe in the inherent strength of emotions and view them as opportunities for self-exploration and growth. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and meeting individuals where they are on their journey. I strive to create a safe space where clients can explore their feelings, traumas, and challenges without judgment. I employ positive interventions and practices with individuals with a variety of mental and behavioral health diagnoses to support healing and behavioral change. I work with a diverse range of clients, including adults, adolescents aged 14 to 18, and couples. Additionally, my extensive military background brings relatability and a unique perspective to therapy, particularly for service members and their families. One of my guiding principles is captured in the quote: “Unless an individual learns to face their shadows, they will continue to see themselves in others; as the world outside of self is a reflection of the world inside of self.” I look forward to collaborating with you on your journey towards self-discovery, personal growth, and healing.

Theoretically speaking, the approaches I utilize will be solution-focused therapy and emotion-focused therapy. Solution-focused therapy is future-focused, goal-directed, and focuses on solutions, rather than on the problems that initially prompt clients to seek therapy. EFT focuses on emotions that may be suppressed and helps in tapping into those emotions.
