Introduction

I’m a clinical psychologist who got my start working in trauma-focused settings, including several years at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. There, I worked closely with Veterans dealing with PTSD and other challenges that often come with it like anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. In my private practice, I work primarily with adults (and teens 16 or older) and focus on areas like trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia, grief, and OCD. Over time, I’ve become especially interested in helping people understand how their brains work, particularly those who may have gone years feeling “off” without a clear explanation. I provide both therapy and assessment, with an emphasis on making things practical and useful in day-to-day life. My style is pretty straightforward and down to earth. I use evidence-based approaches when they’re a good fit, but I don’t see therapy as just diagnosing and treating problems. A lot of the work is about stepping back, looking at patterns, and making sense of things in a way that actually leads to change. I also tend to use humor and some self-disclosure to make the process feel more natural and collaborative. I have ADHD myself, which gives me a more personal understanding of what that experience is like. My goal is to help people feel understood, gain clarity, and walk away with tools that genuinely make their lives better.
