Therapist Overview
I collaborate with clients to help them utilize their own strengths and overcome barriers to achieve meaningful change in their lives. My therapeutic approach emphasizes evidence-based practice while fostering a compassionate, open therapeutic environment to explore opportunities for self-growth. I am a psychologist at the San Diego VA and also have a small private practice on Mondays where I provide psychotherapy to adults and older adults. **NOTE** All sessions are currently telehealth sessions during Covid-19 outbreak. I specialize in treating PTSD, trauma-related guilt, stress, insomnia, anxiety, depression, hoarding disorder, and substance use disorders. I am a certified cognitive processing therapy (CPT) provider and have extensive training in prolonged exposure (PE) for PTSD. I completed my doctorate at The University of Texas at Austin and my APA accredited internship and fellowship with the VA San Diego Healthcare System. I mainly utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
