Therapist Overview
Most of my clients have reached a point at which their lives have become uncomfortable & maybe even untenable. They may be nervous about embarking on the therapeutic journey with a stranger. Often, this is their first experience with therapy. Or, perhaps, they have been in therapy on & off throughout their lives. Because this is new & anxiety-provoking, we move slowly at first. My clients do not want to be pushed into talking about trauma or uncomfortable life events until they are ready. I respect & honor that. Most people want to move at their own pace & will tell me what that means. As trust grows, we are able to begin healing. I am a Navy vet. My degrees are: SDSU (BA psychology) & Auburn University (AL) (MS & PhD in adult clinical psychology). I am predominantly a psychodynamic therapist with additional training. I retired from the VA system in 2019 having worked with many different populations. For your convenience, all sessions are provided via telehealth M, T, & Th 7am-4pm. Wit
