I have been a licensed clinical psychologist for over 8 years. I am an expert in military and sexual trauma, psychosis, and supporting people along the spectrum of gender and sexuality. I am experienced with DBT and attachment-based approaches to trauma and addiction. I help people regain hope in spite of the most difficult circumstances. I use science and clinical based approaches to find solutions while you are on your journey to recovery, healing, and well being.
