I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, in 1998. My diverse training and experience allows me to work successfully with a wide range of clinical problems and diagnoses, including:
- Depression
- Bipolar disorders (mood disturbances that move through extremes)
- Anger & Rage
- Anxiety
- Trauma
- Developmental trauma (childhood neglect and/or abuse, accumulated situations of struggle & overwhelm)
- PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder)
- Dissociative disorders (extreme or prolonged periods of disconnection from oneself and one's surroundings)
- Personality disorders & chronic relationship struggles
- Family conflict & divorce
- Troubles adjusting to life events
- Grief & Loss
- Self harm behaviors (intentional cutting, etc.)
- Suicidality (chronic & acute thoughts of dying, killing self)
