Experiencing anxiety, worry, fear or panic attacks related to PTSD, social anxiety, general anxiety, or OCD? I have helped many high functioning people who suddenly find themselves experiencing excessive anxiety by using a combination of CBT and other modern techniques, such as mindfulness and desensitization --- Traumatic experiences, work related stress, difficulty in relationships, health problems, economic insecurity, or major changes in life circumstances can be the cause of anxiety or panic attacks. My approach is collaborative and flexible to help you learn how to manage distress and to make the changes that will increase your satisfaction in life.

Psychotherapy is a little mysterious, and when taken up with a playful kind of seriousness, I find that it's full of surprises. I like surprises, most of all when people surprise themselves with new energy and insights to slough off stale habits of thinking and relationship patterns, whatever it is that's holding them back. I like to assist with this, to bear witness to an empowering process, psychotherapy as imagining one's life and possibilities anew. To me, it's as creative and gratifying as it gets, and if you're reading this, maybe it appeals to you too.

“I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing" This is what I hear from so many young adults. The world can be overwhelming. In our teens and 20s, we are expected to make decisions that will affect the rest of our lives. Who we are, who we want to partner with, what we want to do in our careers. Whether we even want to have careers or partners. This can be even more complex if we struggle with mental health challenges or have been raised in environments that have contributed to religious (or any other kind) of trauma.

Therapy is an opportunity for growth and introspection. It is a way to learn how external and internal worlds intertwine to produce thoughts and behaviors that are either already conducive to a healthy, productive life—or could be improved upon. You don’t have to be in a crisis to come to therapy. Preventative care is just as important. My aim is to support you as you navigate the challenges life throws at you including fear and anxiety, interpersonal relationship discord, stresses of professional life, and unresolved conflict from childhood.
