If anxiety, depression, OCD, or grief are preventing you from living a full life, I would like to help you get to a more satisfying way of living. In addition to these concerns, I enjoy helping people who suffer from emetophobia (fear or vomiting) and other specific phobias overcome their fears.
Therapy can be hard work, so I like to be an encouraging, supportive presence in the process. My approach draws primarily from the evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapies of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). When trauma treatment is needed, I practice Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy.
I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and older adults of all backgrounds and neurotypes. Finding the right fit with a therapist is essential to creating meaningful change. If you are looking for an approachable clinician who sees your individual strengths, I’d be honored to work with you.

I practice an active, deliberate approach to therapy, which is tailored for each individual client. The principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) help develop psychological flexibility and form the foundation of my practice. From there, exposure-based therapy is helpful for addressing anxiety, OCD, phobias, and for processing trauma.
