Medicare Psychologist Provider

Secure messaging available

Telehealth available

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, including those recovering from childhood trauma and domestic violence. I also work with veterans and first responders, and I support parents wanting to make peace with their own histories to make a difference in their own families.

I understand that seeing a psychologist is a deeply personal experience. it's a very big deal to sit with someone you've never met and discuss things that can be painful. I do my best to make that experience respectful, warm, and collaborative, grounded in attachment theory and psychodynamic approaches, as well as contemporary therapeutic interventions where appropriate. I have immediate availability and offer a free 15-minute chat to see if we're the right fit for each other. I look forward to working with you.
