I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 2011, and have worked extensively with a veteran population. My specialty areas include trauma processing, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, body image concerns, health behaviors, generalized anxiety, agoraphobia, spirituality, and gender identity concerns. I utilize an integrative and holistic approach, and shift between modalities as it is therapeutically indicated and based on the client's therapeutic goals. I frequently conceptualize psychosocial difficulties from a psychodynamic perspective, but may borrow interventions from other modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or third wave cognitive-behavioral therapies, including DBT and mindfulness.

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Chicago, then pursued my graduate studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, Graduate School of Psychology. I completed the latter three years of my clinical training in the VA setting in Southern California, and have worked with veterans for the past ten years. My clinical work has focused extensively on trauma-related difficulties, generalized anxiety, agoraphobia, eating disorders and body image concerns, transgender health, and spirituality.
