About

Are you asking yourself if therapy can help or if your problem warrants contacting a therapist? The short answer is that if a problem has been interfering with your daily functioning or sleep patterns for 2 or more weeks, the answer is ‘Yes’. For 35+ years as a Clinical Psychologist and trained trauma therapist, I’ve helped people from all walks of life (active-duty service members, veterans, military dependents, survivors of abuse and or trauma, parents, students, and adults of all ages struggling with life challenges and stress) learn new skills and thought patterns to significantly improve their mental health. Let me help you to identify the what, how, and why of your problem area(s) and then devise a path forward that addresses your physical, mental, relationship, and spiritual needs. We’ll set clear and attainable goals and along the way, you’ll learn effective self-care and healthy communication and problem-solving skills. Depending upon your strengths, we’ll collaboratively choose a treatment approach. However, most of my patients have indicated that they prefer a blend of treatment types that capitalize on their thinking skills while honoring their emotional and physical feelings. Approaches may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness. Life is precious but often very hard, and you don’t have to figure everything out by yourself. Why not increase your hope for the future by learning new ways to engage and overcome your pain? I look forward to hearing from you.
