I specialize in general clinical psychology (various anxiety and mood disorders), health psychology, and evidence-based practice. I use cognitive behavioral therapy with a collaborate approach. At the beginning of treatment, we work toward figuring out what isn’t working for you and how to initially get you some symptom relief. I value getting to know you and your thoughts, beliefs, and coping strategies. I help you find ways to cope that are more effective. I strive for genuine relationships with my clients at any stage of adulthood where we can discuss issues openly. You are included in treatment-related decisions.
I have extensive experience with the college student population dealing with various age, adjustment, relational, academic-related (performance anxiety or early career adjustment) or other concerns. I have clinical and research experience with mild substance use, particularly for marijuana and alcohol, in this population. I also use CBT for ADHD management.
Much of my training has been with adults who have chronic illnesses that involve extensive self-management. I implement health behavior change and motivational therapies to improve quality of life. I also work with older adults (65+) with transition to retirement, as well as caregivers of those who have cognitive impairment and issues of self-care.
