Just like a physician is a true Doctor of the body, I am a true Doctor of the mind or psyche, possessing special knowledge of its strengths, weaknesses, and ailments. I have an additional 10 years of graduate level education and training, past my 4 year bachelors degree. Many therapists only have a masters degree. When I work with you, I bring all of my specialized knowledge and expertise to help you resolve your problem, deeply understand yourself, and help you connect more fully with who you are and where you want your life to go.

I am a psychologist with over 15 years helping people with a variety of problems and concerns. I provide a safe environment so you can feel comfortable talking about what bothers you.

Psychology defines an understanding of human behavior. The role of a psychologist is to assist individuals of any age, who experience mental health dysfunctions, to enhancing and promoting their individual wellbeing. Through the use of assessment tools, observations and evaluation, I will tailor a treatment plan, monitored appropriately and professionally to the individual needs. The plan will vary in models of therapies and in collaboration with other health professionals if needed. I will primarily diagnose abilities, moods and behavior often related to symptoms from traumatic injuries, depression, anxiety, risky behaviors, addictions and social / interpersonal problems.

Working with a licensed psychologist means working with someone trained, at the doctoral level, to understand not just what you're struggling with but why it persists. I hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and practice psychoanalytically, which simply means I pay close attention to the parts of your experience that operate beneath everyday awareness, the patterns you didn't choose and can't quite explain, yet keep running into. Psychic difficulties always have a logic of their own. Rather than managing symptoms on the surface, I work with you to uncover what's actually driving them, because that's what allows not short-lived changes, but deep and lasting relief.
