Psychology Background

As a clinical psychologist, I have focused on several theorhetical approaches under the domain of cognitive behavioral psychology, which focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It emphasizes how negative or distorted thinking patterns contribute to emotional distress and unhelpful behaviors. Through structured, goal-oriented interventions, individuals learn to identify and challenge these thought patterns and replace them with more realistic and constructive alternatives.

Writing Background

As an avid reader, I have a deep appreciation for the power of words to convey ideas and emotions. I've also found writing to be a powerful tool for self-expression, reflection, and creativity. Throughout my life, I've written many short stories, essays, papers, as well as a Master's thesis and Doctoral dissertation. At the present time I am authoring a book on the topic of trauma which I hope to publish in the near future. In addition, I am considering other avenues to help those within my field understand the complexities of technology and psychology via journal articles.

Psychology


My approach to psychology, while loosly eclectic, tends to lean heavily in the direction of cognitive behavioral theory.

  • What is Cognitive Behavioral Theory: In a nutshell, it is an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and how changes in one can influence the others.
  • Other Approaches: Utilizing aspects of other theories such as humanistic, and humanistic-existential, and narrative therapy, I am able to provide a more comprehensive person-centered approach to therapy.

Clinical Services


I provide a range of clinical services to help individuals, couples, and specialize in the treatment of trauma.

  • Trauma Therapy: I have extensive experience in treating PTSD, especially in the first responder community, and have a deep understanding of the unique challenges that trauma can bring.
