I am a VA licensed clinical psychologist who believes that an effective therapeutic relationship blends mutual respect, supportive candor, and gentle humor. I have extensive experience working with Active-Duty service members and retired veterans, first responders, healthcare professionals, and their family members. I work with individuals who are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, grief, burnout and/or other life stress and challenges. Many of my clients experienced traumatic events, combat or first-responder incidents or forms of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. These individuals, and frequently their family members, were negatively impacted by symptoms of PTSD. I have extensive experience using evidence-based trauma therapies including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I am also a certified provider and ASCH approved consultant for Clinical Hypnosis.
Please know that treatments are available and research shows that evidence-based therapy can improve both personal and professional functioning.
Let’s work together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
