Psychotherapy can improve symptoms that interfere with living our lives the way we'd like.
Is therapy for you? Here are the most common responses I hear from new patients:
"I'm not feeling like myself"
"I'm so anxious I don't know what to do"
"I just can't sleep"
"I can't stop worrying"
"I'm afraid to trust people again"
"I can't focus"
I provide evidence-based treatments that focus on improving coping skills, understanding symptoms, processing emotions and thoughts more effectively, and changing behaviors. I have years of experience in assessing and treating trauma, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, stress mgmt, & adhd.
I am an experienced licensed psychologist with specialty training in treating and assessing a wide range of conditions, including those related to depressed mood, anxiety, stress & trauma, life transitions, chronic pain, and insomnia. I utilize a variety of treatment approaches including ACT, CBT, CPT, and mindfulness-based stress reduction.
I believe in non-judgmental, empathic, and culturally-competent mental health care. To reduce barriers to engaging in treatment, I offer flexible scheduling, sliding scale fee structure, and I file reimbursement claims on behalf of my clients. This will be discussed, along with other factors of “fitness” for working together, during consultation.
