I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a comprehensive background in trauma, forensic evaluation, and culturally responsive care. I specialize in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, and personality disorders. With advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders (CBT-SUD), I deliver evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to individual needs.
My clinical expertise is grounded in years of diverse experience—ranging from serving veterans and individuals with serious mental illness to conducting forensic and psychosexual evaluations. I have worked in federal correctional facilities, community clinics, and VA medical centers, which has afforded me a depth of understanding of both high-acuity and underserved populations.
