I firmly believe that a person is more than the diagnosis. Striving to understand patients holistically, I use client-centered approaches. I offer a compassionate, empathic, and judgement-free zone, which allows one to freely express their thoughts and feelings. Along with the therapeutic relationship, another important aspect of therapy is that there is no time limit to the therapeutic process. I strive to help you reach your goals in the time that feels comfortable for you. I have extensive training in trauma, which includes Cognitive Behavioral approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. 

In addition to therapy, I offer psychological assessment. Psychological assessment can be a useful tool used in a variety of ways, from assisting in establishing a diagnosis to further treatment interventions to use for therapy. 

I have been married for almost 26 years, and I have an adult daughter who just graduated from college. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, talking and spending time with friends, watching TV, and reading.
