About the Practice
A few things to know about the practice:
- Staff take a relational, collaborative approach with clients. Clients are the experts of their own lives, they have the ability within them to help them reach wellness, and that they deserve to make truly informed decisions about their care.
- The practice is run by a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, who has worked in a variety of settings, such as community mental health, inpatient, prisons, colleges, and military/veteran facilities and worked at the local, state, and federal levels. These roles allow her to understand mental health through a complex relationship of medical, biological, social, cultural, psychological, and legal systems and to value integrative care, focusing on working with individuals who have been impacted by trauma. She has been trained in and has experience in
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy.

Additionally, she has completed an accredited, educational certificate program in Sex Therapy, which is psychological therapy focused on talking through problems with sex and intimacy that individuals or couples are facing.
