I've been fortunate to work with diverse patient populations across various settings including a county hospital, college counseling clinic, community mental health center and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system. Throughout my clinical experiences, I developed a primary passion for health psychology. My focus includes helping people quit smoking, improve sleep, manage weight, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I also have a passion for helping people with anxiety, depression, phase-of-life concerns, anger, self-esteem, adjustment, school/work stress, and grief.

I’m trained in various styles of therapy and treatment methods including evidence-based practices for insomnia, depression, chronic pain, and post traumatic stress disorder. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). While I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach in treatment, I find great utility in examining early models and influential factors. Ultimately I believe in a strength-based approach to care and fostering a collaborative working relationship in therapy.
