With over 20 years of dedicated experience providing psychological services, my practice is built upon an understanding of the inherent complexity and nuance of human experience. Effective psychotherapy is rooted in clarity, empathy, and the transformative power of feeling truly understood. My clinical work is especially informed by extensive expertise in trauma-related assessment and treatment, developed through years of rigorous training and direct experience in diverse settings, including the Veterans Affairs healthcare system and broader community contexts.

My approach is uniquely enriched by deep specialization in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, a scientifically validated, evidence-based psychotherapy. My involvement as an invited clinician for national clinical trials led by the National Center for PTSD, as well as my role as one of the select authors featured in the recent volume, Cognitive Processing Therapy for Complex Cases (Wachen & Galovski, 2025), highlights my recognized expertise and commitment to advancing PTSD treatment. Additionally, my longstanding interest and training in psychodynamic, object-relations, and attachment-based therapies enable me to contextualize and supplement CPT, providing a richer, more holistic therapeutic experience. Whether addressing the complexities of emotion regulation or navigating trauma’s intricate effects, my therapeutic approach blends research-backed methods with authentic engagement, providing clients with pathways toward meaningful recovery and sustained emotional resilience.
