Individual Therapy

Therapy for Therapists

Whether you’re facing PTSD, depression, anxiety, or life’s challenges, I offer evidence-based therapies that are tailored to meet your unique needs.

Helping therapists manage the weight of their work and find balance.

Psychological Assessment 

Consultation 

Diagnostic Clarity, ADHD Evaluations, Gestational Carrier Evaluations, Donor Gamete Evaluations, FMLA, DBQ, and more.  

Targeted psychological advisory services offering psychological clarity for your most critical life and leadership decisions.

Connection, Above All Else

If you can’t feel safe to be yourself with your psychologist, where can you feel safe? Therapy requires trust. My goal is to cultivate trust quickly based on mutual respect, shared experiences, and humor. 


Evidence-Based Therapy, Tailored for You

Therapy works best when it’s backed by science and customized to your needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques that are proven to help. I specialize in meeting you where you are AND giving you the skills to make lasting changes in your life, rooted in science.  I also enjoy incorporating wisdom-based, holistic practices into treatment.


Trauma-Informed by Your Own Trauma Expert

 With 15 years of experience treating PTSD, we can find what will actually help you to heal and grow.


A Psychologist Who Walks the Walk

Being a psychologist means living by the same interventions that I share in sessions. I strive to live an intentional, value-driven life rooted in kindness and connection. Leading by example is necessary.
