Feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? I specialize in treating PTSD, OCD, GAD, Panic Disorder, social anxiety, depression, and co-occurring addictions or habits. I take a cognitive approach and use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and other evidence-based energy psychology and other evidence-based therapy to process trauma and deactivate obsessions, worries, urges, negative thoughts (even suicidal ideation) and reduce emotional reactivity substantially. EFT can also support pain relief as a complementary method. I also use EMDR incorporated into EFT or use both. I have 50 hours of training each in EFT, TF-CBT, and EMDR.

Have you been wondering why your anxiety won't budge. You’ve tried everything—talking through your feelings, practicing relaxation, following every piece of advice.

It’s exhausting to lie awake at night then push yourself through a long day. Over and over again. Although this may be the pattern now, it doesn’t have to continue. I work with people who know firsthand that sleep hygiene can't always fix sleep problems. People who have seen every hour on the clock at night and still "get up and go" the next day. My clients are the people who have done everything in their power to improve sleep and are still ready to try something else. They might show up yawning, but they are ready and willing to change their habits for the sake of getting good-quality, restful sleep.

I am passionate about helping clients who have decided that their old ways of thinking, feeling, doing are not working for them anymore. We can all get to this place in life where we realize we are stuck in unhelpful patterns, but sometimes we need a bit of help creating the awareness of these patterns and getting "unstuck." I am here to help! I often work with clients who are struggling with generalized anxiety, stress, OCD, phobias, panic, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and insomnia.

I have always been drawn to kids and young adults who feel like they don’t quite fit — often sensitive, quirky, bright or hard on themselves. Some are underachieving in school despite clear potential; others struggle with perfectionism or anxiety about not being “enough” or being "too much." I help build self-acceptance, connection and a sense of belonging. Your child deserves to feel proud of who they are, not in spite of their differences but because of them.
While I certainly enjoy working with young people excited for therapy, I also work very well with children who are having hesitations.

Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviors that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioral therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioral change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
