It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to reach out for help. I understand the investment required in doing this work and I want to make your time in therapy valuable and worthwhile. My approach is validating, supportive and nonjudgmental, as well as direct. My clients have said that I get to the root of their situations quickly and provide clear ideas of how to do things differently. I am a skills-oriented therapist who has many ideas for strategies in working towards YOUR goals.
With me as your therapist, you will get someone who will listen and provide you with an upfront response connecting to your whole self. My therapeutic approach includes treating the mind, body, and spirit.
I have experience working with individuals struggling with:
Personality Disorders
Spiritual Issues
Social Anxiety
Parenting
Trauma and PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder)
Stress
Identity or Self-Esteem Issues
Disordered Eating
Self-Harm
Anger
Women’s Issues
Life Transitions
My work includes using evidence-based treatments (which means they have been proven to work through research). I have specific training in Prolonged Exposure (used for treating trauma and PTSD), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (used to increase coping skills, regulate emotions, and build relationships skills), exposure therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Resilience Therapy. This combination allows me to work effectively with you as a whole person.
I am also a professor at a local university, teaching graduate level therapists how to provide an evidence-based treatment. I absolutely love teaching!
When I am not at work, I am typically spending time with my family. I am married with three adult children and two grand-puppies. I love the outdoors, whether it is in the woods or on a beach, I am in. I also like to get my hands dirty, so I like to build things and garden.
