Introduction

I honor the trust my clients place in me by providing care that is both compassionate and grounded in evidence-based treatments proven to improve functioning. With over 20 years of experience, I have served in clinical leadership roles in psychiatric outpatient, child welfare, and residential treatment centers. These roles, paired with advanced training, strengthened both my expertise and my appreciation for the real impact effective therapy can have on creating a full and meaningful life. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can heal, grow, and move toward lasting change. I specialize in treating OCD, BFRBs (hair pulling, skin picking, tics), trauma, trauma related guilt and moral injury, attachment injury, grief, anxiety, and chronic pain or illness. To most effectively help clients reach their goals, I use a tailored blend of evidence-based and evidence-supported therapies, including EMDR, ERP, HRT, ACT, and TrIGR. I offer a space where you can speak freely and be met with care and expertise. Therapy with me is collaborative and practical, grounded in your goals and values. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, personalized experience that honors your time and depth, I invite you to schedule a free phone consultation. Let’s see if we’re a good fit.
