My clients come to me for practical, tangible guidance and support on how to overcome the challenges they face. I use an evidenced based approach, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, that helps clients regain control of their lives, reduce unhelpful racing thoughts, and develop resiliency and confidence. Unlike traditional "talk therapy," where much your time is spent discussing vague concepts, my approach is to create realistic, attainable solutions and help you identify the roadmap to achieve them. About half of my practice involves working with teens/young adults and half with adults.
I provide 2 types of services: psychotherapy and neuropsychological testing. I specialize in treatment of anxiety, with a focus on high performers (athletes, executives, entrepreneurs) as well as individuals with chronic pain (e.g., headaches, post-concussion syndrome). I also provide neuropsychological testing for AD/HD, memory problems, and concussion.
My treatment mantra is to help clients get comfortable being uncomfortable so that they can be comfortable again! My goal with every client (psychotherapy or neuropsychological testing) is to help them better understand how to use their brain to their advantage and remove their mental obstacles to success. I look forward to hearing from you!
