Mental Health Support

Let’s sort it
out Together

Our life, and the relationships in it, can be messy. As a clinical psychologist, I help people make sense of their stories. I provide training, workshops and professional consultation for mental health professionals to support their growth and enhance their clinical skills.

Services that make room for all of you.

The messy parts, the tender spots, and the parts still figuring it out.

A lot of the work I do comes back to relationships — with partners, parents, kids… and often, the relationship we have with ourselves. Sometimes people come to me during a transitional time. Other times, it’s just a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right. Either way I help you make sense of what is going on.

Professional Consultation

Professional consultation for mental health professionals and organizations is designed to meet individualized professional development goals. It emphasizes real-time case reflection, skill development, and ethical decision-making. My approach to consultation is founded on the integration of CBT and attachment theory, within an evidence-based and trauma-informed framework.

Therapy, consultation, and resources that meet you where you are.

I take a curious, compassionate, and research-based approach to understand your needs and goals. Whether we’re working together one-on-one, connecting through a workshop, or you’re engaging with one of my courses or articles — everything I offer is designed to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and the dynamics that show up in your life.

This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about making sense of what’s going on, using evidence-based frameworks, and moving toward clarity and practical change. I offer individual psychotherapy, assessments, professional consultation and supervision, workshops and speaking engagements, and resources to help you sort things out with information and tools you can actually use.

Clear and Practical

I believe that complex things don’t have to be confusing. We can start with something that feels overwhelming, and bit by bit, take it apart, so we can put it back together in a way that makes sense to you. I take the time to understand so you can move forward with clarity, not pressure.
