As a psychiatrist and therapist with over 25 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping adults achieve emotional and mental well-being through personalized psychotherapy.

My training at Emory University and the University of Chicago, combined with my work as a clinical assistant professor, has equipped me to provide holistic, client-centered care.I prioritize creating a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore their inner experiences and develop healthier coping mechanisms. My eclectic methodology reflects a commitment to tailoring treatment to individual needs, fostering growth in emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions. By focusing on the interconnectedness of mind and body, I aim to empower clients to lead more purposeful, balanced lives.

Services
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy services focus on helping adults achieve emotional and mental well-being through personalized sessions. We address trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and self-esteem issues using an eclectic approach. Clients gain insight and develop healthier coping mechanisms while exploring the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, and spiritual growth.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting targets the physiological subsystem where trauma is stored. By identifying specific eye positions, we help clients process and release traumatic memories inaccessible through traditional talk therapy. This technique facilitates deep emotional healing by accessing the body's innate capacity for self-regulation and recovery.
EMDR
EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation to resolve trauma and reduce overwhelming emotions. This evidence-based technique effectively treats PTSD and other trauma-related conditions by facilitating neural processing. We guide clients through structured protocols to reprocess distressing memories and develop adaptive coping strategies.
Individual Psychotherapy
Tailored sessions for adults seeking growth in areas like relationship concerns, mood instability, and self-destructive behaviors. Our approach integrates various therapeutic modalities to address each client's unique needs. We emphasize creating a safe, collaborative space for self-exploration and meaningful change.
Trauma Therapy
Specialized treatment for trauma survivors, including PTSD and dissociation. We combine somatic and cognitive techniques to promote healing and restore emotional balance. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes the lasting impact of adverse experiences while fostering resilience and post-traumatic growth.
