I offer action-oriented therapies, where the client and I do more than just talk about problems; we actively address them through changes in behavior, learning new skills, and leveraging existing strengths, all in a manner that reflects the client’s values. My interventions are practical, transparent, and evidence-based, informed by the latest clinical research findings. My working style is respectful and collaborative, and I greatly appreciate the trust that my clients place in me.
I specialize in treating obsessive compulsive disorder using exposure with response prevention, phobias using real-world practice sessions, and generalized anxiety using additional cognitive-behavioral techniques. I also specialize in treating depression and a variety of childhood behavioral issues (e.g., enuresis, encopresis, hair pulling, noncompliance).
I welcome the opportunity to discuss if we are a good match for the type of therapy I provide.
