If you are looking to embrace positive change or conquer the challenges life throws your way, let's connect and embark on this journey together! With over two decades of experience as a Licensed Psychologist, I've been privileged to support countless clients in reaching their goals. Whether you're a child, a teen, an adult, or part of a family unit, I'm here to help!
My approach is anything but ordinary—it's all about empowering you! Drawing from my background in family systems and a deep understanding of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), neurobiology, and attachment dynamics, I'm equipped to explore how your relationships and internal factors influence your journey through life. Together, we'll craft a personalized treatment plan that feels right for you, tapping into a variety of therapeutic approaches, from mindfulness to interpersonal interventions.
While I'm trained to address a wide range of concerns, I have a particular passion for helping individuals navigate anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma, grief, and depression. I've honed my skills through specialized training programs, such as the International OCD Foundation’s Behavior Training Institute for both adult and pediatric populations, where I've focused on techniques like Exposure and Response/Ritual Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). To learn more about Exposure and Response Prevention and OCD please go to the following link: https://iocdf.org/
I'm also an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist, offering a structured and research-based approach to trauma recovery. For more information about EMDR, please see the following link: About EMDR Therapy
My certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional further underscore my ongoing commitment to providing effective care. I am also a Certified Biblical counselor, should you desire to incorporate a Christian perspective in our work together.
If you're ready to embark on a journey of growth, healing, and fulfillment, let's join forces and make it a reality!

Why choose self-pay over using your health insurance for psychotherapy?
Let's explore the benefits:
- Confidentiality: When you self-pay, your therapy sessions are not documented in your insurance records, offering an extra layer of privacy.
- No Diagnosis Required: Insurance typically requires a mental health diagnosis for coverage. If you prefer to keep your treatment off your medical record, self-pay grants you the freedom to do so.
- Alternatively, your insurance plan may include Out of Network (OON) coverage, offering potential reimbursement for a portion of the service fee. Please refer to your insurance policy for specific details. If you select this option, we’ll discuss any diagnosis involved, and we can provide you with a superbill for filing or my office can assist with courtesy filing.
Ultimately, the decision to self-pay for psychotherapy depends on your individual circumstances, preferences, and financial resources. It’s essential to weigh the pros and cons carefully, and we can discuss your options to make an informed decision.
