Hello! I am a clinical counselor living in Spain. Many times our life stressors, chronic pain, or other chronic illnesses impact our ability to engage in our life the way we want to. I am here to help!
I am a clinical psychologist from the USA living in Spain. My background has focused on helping others navigate life stressors, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain to create a life with purpose and meaning. During our time together, we will develop goals that help you live the life you want while also building a toolbox of skills to navigate the obstacles that may pop up along the way. I offer online therapy in English for expats living abroad, who are interested in making changes in their daily routines to improve overall quality of life. I am here to create a safe space for you to reach your goals.
During my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family and dogs. I am also an avid baker.
My approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as personal centered approaches to help navigate stressors and chronic illnesses/pain. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, where we work together to achieve your goals. You are the expert on you and I use research to help guide us to your goals.
I completed my internship at the Veterans Administration in Missouri where I worked with clients managing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and chronic pain and illness. Afterwards, I attended the VA in Florida where I completed by post-doc in chronic pain and psycho-oncology. Most recently, I worked as a pain psychologist working with individuals managing chronic pain, chronic illness, and mental health co-comorbidities.
Attained my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from an APA accredited university in the USA.
