A bit about me.

I have always been intrigued by how individuals navigate and overcome challenging experiences. During my graduate studies, I focused on

Post-Traumatic Growth—the personal development and sense of purpose that can emerge after trauma. Through original research and clinical work with military veterans, medical trauma, and childhood abuse survivors I have seen firsthand the incredible transformations that can occur through adversity. Trauma shatters our world, but also provides an opportunity to rebuild it in an even more meaningful way.

 

I believe that effective therapy combines evidence-based treatments with a highly personalized approach. I integrate Relational and Cognitive-Behavioral methods such as Interpersonal Psychotherapy, CBT, ACT, and DBT. This blend of depth therapy and behavioral techniques empowers clients to find symptom relief while cultivating a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in their lives.

 

I work from a deep understanding of each client's life narrative, as this is crucial for fostering change. Together, we will examine the core beliefs that shape your identity and relationships. Therapy will equip you with skills and strategies that serve as your personal toolkit for change. My goal is to help clients move through trauma to a life defined by clear values and intentional living.

 

I engage in advanced training, research, and ongoing consultation. In my personal time, I recharge by spending time in nature, with my family, and with our pack of dogs.
