I am a licensed clinical psychologist, former teacher, veteran, and published researcher. I have over 25 years of experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked in community mental health centers, private and not-for-profit hospitals, training institutions, staff model HMOs, and in private practice. I believe that asking for help is a true sign of maturity. My approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are in life. I take into consideration all aspects of a client’s life to create a unique treatment plan in order to help make changes toward a more fulfilling, connected, and healthier life. I used a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, client-centered therapy, insight-oriented therapy, psychodynamic approaches, hypnotherapy, and solution-focused therapy. I work with clients collaboratively to foster healing and to eliminate barriers in order to find meaning and to live life more fully.
