I provide individual, group, and family sessions for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; however, also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure Response Prevention, Schema Therapy and Mindfulness to form an individualized treatment plan. My goal is that you learn strategies to manage your symptoms so that you can be your own therapist by the end of our journey together. Nothing brings me more joy than to witness this transformation and watch people "graduate" from my practice and lead fulfilling lives.
Although my practice is a general practice, I specialize in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders (i.e., Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and etc.) as well as Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (i.e., Trichotillomania, skin picking, and hoarding).
I believe in the importance of providing collaborative, individualized and evidence-based treatment. I have had the privilege of treating over 1000 patients in my 20+ years as a psychologist. It would be a pleasure to get to know you and assist you in improving your quality of life.

Unfortunately, I do not accept insurance. However, I try my best to accommodate as much as I can with a sliding scale. I understand how difficult it is to find a qualified provider that you trust, feel comfortable with, that is also affordable. I do provide a superbill to help with reimbursement.

A thorough diagnostic evaluation will be conducted during our first meeting so that we can identify what needs to be addressed and proceed with a treatment plan that serves your specific needs. Approximately 80 to 90 percent of individuals that begin treatment meet their treatment goals by the end of therapy. Most of my patients report an improvement in symptoms within the first month.
