I help adults who are stuck in anxiety, obsessive thinking, or trauma-driven patterns. My approach is acceptance-based cognitive behavioral therapy, focused on building psychological flexibility rather than struggling against or suppressing internal experiences. Therapy with me is active: we clarify what matters, loosen the grip of unhelpful patterns, and build new responses where change is possible. If you are ready to move beyond insight and into sustained change, this may be a strong fit.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist, professor, and researcher specializing in acceptance-based CBT, particularly ACT. I am licensed in CT, NY, and MA, and PSYPACT-authorized to provide telehealth across 43 states, serving college students and traveling professionals who need flexible access to care.
Early sessions focus on understanding your history and current patterns. From there, we develop a targeted treatment plan oriented toward change. I work to understand clients in context, so interventions are tailored rather than generic. If you are looking for evidence-based therapy with an active approach, I invite you to reach out.
