I am a licensed clinical psychologist committed to providing compassionate, effective services for adolescents and adults.  I bring clinical experience from a wide range of settings including outpatient clinics, ambulatory/residential settings, and have served on treatment teams providing wrap-around services in-home, community-based, and in the school environment.

 

While every client is unique, bringing distinct strengths and vulnerabilities (and with these their own perspectives and goals for therapy) the majority of clients who reach out to me are generally looking for support during major relationship or life transitions, to address symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and/or other mood disorders, to explore identity and roles, consider choices, overcome life challenges, manage stress, enrich relationships, and cultivate their strengths. Additionally, much of my training has been trauma-focused and I continue to incorporate an ARC model lens when working with those impacted by developmental trauma. I have extensive training working on wrap-around teams, and though much of my private practice I do at present is one-to-one, I always consider the systems and contexts within which each of us exists- we did not get where we are today alone (for better or worse!)

​​

Outside of my private practice I work in the school setting providing psychological assessments, individual and crisis counseling, and engage with families to support their students. I am part of the special education team and love helping to support students work through their challenges and discover their strengths (and how support systems can help support and grow this!) 

 

I consider myself to be a real and authentic person in the room with you and share more about myself as a person as we get to know each other and is clinically appropriate :) 

 

More recently I am receiving referrals in specific areas of adulthood because I have lived experience and great compassion for others going through these particular areas of grief and struggle. I have had personal experiences with blending families, infertility, living CNBC, living through unexpected medical events, and being a long-term caregiver of a medically complex spouse. I invite you to reach out if you feel having a therapist who can relate is important to you.
