I specialize in evidence-based psychotherapies that help clients build practical skills to manage difficult emotions and improve well-being. I have extensive experience treating adults with anxiety, phobias, OCD, panic, depression, and PTSD, and I have limited openings. I’ve also built a team of clinicians committed to high-quality, evidence-based care. Each has expertise in multiple approaches, and we can help determine your best fit. Our goal is to help you make progress efficiently and build confidence to manage your mental health. You can learn more about our approach to care on our website.
I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Ohio State University. My postdoctoral fellowship was at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD) in Boston, a renowned clinic for treatment and research. I have expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based therapies. I now own Proven Pathways Psychotherapy, a group practice.
I provide a warm and encouraging environment to work together in active collaboration. I help my clients foster hope and resilience to overcome life’s challenges and build their knowledge of how to improve and sustain emotional health and life satisfaction. Many of the clients I see successfully meet their goals for therapy within several months.

The clients I work with often struggle with managing their emotions: anxiety, irritability, low mood/sadness, etc. Tough emotions are driving their reactions, decisions, and behaviors, not their values or goals. I work with clients to learn healthy strategies to better manage and reduce strong emotions and gain confidence in directing their lives and managing their mental health well.
