Is past trauma keeping you stuck? Does depression, anxiety and worry keep you from enjoying the life you want and deserve? Do you feel trapped in your marriage or relationship?

I specialize in Rumination-Focused ERP for OCD. This approach to ERP focuses on treating compulsive rumination, and provides a highly systematic yet gentler approach to exposure therapy. RF-ERP can be helpful to patients who have not made significant progress in other types of treatment, including individuals with Pure O or Sensorimotor OCD. I also believe in the importance of treating the emotional dynamics that underlie OCD symptoms. I therefore integrate psychoanalytic treatment within and alongside ERP, to foster deeper and more lasting change than ERP alone can offer.

According to the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” I disagree! Instead, trauma, if left unprocessed/untreated, it has the potential to cause unnecessary and significant mental distress. Throughout our lives, we, the vast majority of us, may experience traumatic events (micro and/or macro). During these trauma(s)—our role is simple—Survival. After the event(s), when we find ourselves on the other side of the trauma(s), again—our role is simple—To Go On With Life.

It takes courage to be vulnerable and open oneself to a stranger. Even more so to recognize the need for a safe space and a listening ear. The memories of the past, priorities of the present, and obligations of the future can seem like impossible mountains to climb. As a counselor, I will walk with you on your journey over the boulders of life, whether you’re seeking to reach the summit or come down from the mountain. In my life, I’ve had a variety of positive and negative experiences as a student, veteran, facilitator, and parent. My roles in corporate, school, non-profit, and inpatient settings have aided me as a counselor.
