About me
I have been a licensed psychologist for the past 15 years and have enjoyed my work as a military psychologist for the U.S. Navy as well as a private practitioner. My experience includes work with individuals who suffered from all types of depression, anxieties, obsessive-compulsive disorders, traumas, as well as life issues re: race. culture, discrimination, transgender issues, and other issues related to major life changes.
My approaches to therapy include client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and psychodynamic therapy as well as solution-focused therapy. I support an honest, trusting client-provider relationship to assist clients with their needs.
Reaching out for assistance (therapy) may be a first step in mastering the life changes you may be experiencing, Congratulations on your request for support. I look forward to working with you and offering support to you on your life's journey.

Dr. Goodwin has been such an instrumental help in me both understand my feelings, anxieties, and mental health, and also crafting skills and techniques to address my concerns and equip me with the ability to more effectively combat those anxious feelings. I’m thankful for how she has helped me demystify my concerns and has helped me approach them in a much better way.

Dr. Goodwin is simply amazing! she has a way of making you feel comfortable enough that you can easily open up and dive deep into your issues. She is extremely eloquent and methodological all while being sympathetic and comforting . There is always a valuable takeaway for me after every session we have and i couldn't ask for more.

Dr. Goodwin is a vibrant and welcoming energy. She is excellent at deciphering key points from a ramble and she has a way of explaining complexities in a way that is understandable and palatable. I would highly recommend Dr. Goodwin- the best.
