- Psychologist
I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Binghamton University (NY) in 2010. Since that time, I have primarily worked in a small outpatient setting run by a large Federal organization, providing behavioral health services for Veterans. My primary therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioral, our 'fancy' way of looking at our pattern of thoughts/ behaviors and how they interact with our mood. I have an eclectic approach that is largely guided by collaboration and patient preference. I am well versed in traditional behavioral/cognitive-behavioral approaches, along with more modern interpretations of these principles including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I have also learned that many people don't need, want, or like a very "formal" approach... and that's fine. The important piece is that we put our heads together and find something that works for you. Areas of expertise include PTSD/Trauma, Depression, Anxiety Addictions, and military transition issues. I look forward to meeting!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
