Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced (James Baldwin). I currently have limited availability for new clients who struggle with different types of anxiety. I offer an innovative approach to treatment, known as virtual reality exposure therapy, to treat phobias (e.g., fear of flying, driving, heights, public speaking, germs, needles, small spaces), other forms of anxiety (e.g., social and test-taking anxieties) and stress reactions. Length of treatment can range from 6-12 sessions and you can practice relaxation and techniques from your home, in between sessions.
Clients working with me might consider the therapy process as compassionate "challenge by choice" and I work to make the space an emotionally warm and accepting one.
I have been a mental health professional for 20 years at settings including Vanderbilt and Cornell Universities and The University of New Hampshire, as well as non-profit agencies. I work to create a safe and warm holding space in the therapy room for you to work on your concerns.
