I specialize in working with people who are in intense emotional distress, including people who feel like their lives are almost unlivable. Many of my clients are navigating the worst moments of their lives or challenges that feel impossible. I help my clients find ways through to the other side. I often work with clients experiencing anxiety, uncontrollable anger, OCD, PTSD, chronic pain, health issues, self-harm, or suicidality. I also have expertise in LGBTQIA+ issues and religious trauma and deconstruction. I am skilled with men's issues, including men who may not view themselves as “therapy” people.
Therapy with me is active and collaborative, and I am kind, casual, and direct. My primary training is in CBT and DBT. In previous settings when I conducted research I focused primarily on trauma, PTSD, marginalized identities, and sexual assault. You will always get evidence-based, science-backed care with me.
Looking for a therapist is hard! When life is in crisis, it can feel impossible to find the right help. Whether you can't escape intrusive thoughts or feel like your emotions overwhelm you and the people around you, I can help. Get in touch for evidence-based treatments with a researcher who helps study those treatments. There is hope.

I choose to specialize in evidence-based care. As a researcher, I first look at scientific studies to determine what has been proven to be helpful for the types of people and disorders I work with. This often leads me to CBT (which includes ERP, and trauma treatments like CPT and Written Exposure Therapy), DBT, and ACT.
