I provide therapy for adults and adolescents who are feeling trapped by anxiety, fear, unwanted thoughts (or memories), and other distressing emotions related to anxiety disorders and trauma (e.g., fear, guilt, shame, sadness).
I specialize in evidence-based cognitive-behavioral treatments for anxiety disorders (e.g., obsessive-compulsive disorder; panic disorder) and posttraumatic stress disorder. I treat a range of ages from grade school to adults.
Struggling with anxiety and the pain of past traumatic events is profoundly distressing. Similarly, lacking confidence in one's parenting can feel overwhelming and lonely. Confronting intense emotions and being open to parent-coaching requires vulnerability. My therapy can offer a safe space to face these challenges and discover an effective way forward.
