Prolonged Exposure Therapy in 80302

This human life is NOT easy, and is often full of pain! At the same time, I deeply believe that when equipped with the right tools, each individual has the potential to create a vibrant and personally meaningful life. I am passionate about empowering my clients to make the changes they wish to see in their day-to-day lives. I have been trained in a wide variety of empirically-supported treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I work with adult clients with a wide variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety or depressive disorders, PTSD, OCD, insomnia, and chronic pain.

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. We aim to cultivate hope in all our clients. We work with adolescents and adults to overcome complex and difficult to treat problems, including substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship issues, and overwhelming emotions. We often deal with more than one problem at a time. Our passion is helping people who struggle with multiple problems build a fulfilling and meaningful life.

I help people feel less anxious, less stressed, less overwhelmed and less depressed by providing life-changing psychological services for long-lasting emotional wellness. I am committed to using the best cognitive behavioral therapies that have been extensively researched and proven to work. Using my expertise in these gold standard treatments, I collaborate with my clients to tailor treatment to their specific needs and provide these therapy services in a private, tranquil, peaceful environment. I am here to help you, and your loved ones, feel better through therapy that is grounded in compassion, understanding and empathy.

As a psychologist at Abbott Therapeutic Solutions, I care about offering compassionate therapy that helps people recover from complex problems. Even if you’ve been told you can’t be helped, please don’t give up hope! Overpowering emotions can be disorienting and isolating. I provide specialized support to bring stability, growth, and fulfillment into your life. At ATS we offer supportive and evidence-based treatments that will help you overcome serious problems and rebuild your life. We work as team to provide compassionate care and help our clients succeed.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C) with the unique ability to combine nutrition and mental health for clients suffering from disordered eating, poor body image, low self-esteem, anxiety/depression, and other mental health disorders. I advocate for my clients to help them become self-sufficient and independent in developing healthy behaviors. I am passionate about helping clients identify their feelings, needs, and wants while learning how to effectively process and express these needs.

I strongly value creating a compassionate and non-judgmental setting where we can work together to address your challenges and build a more enjoyable and meaningful life. I use evidence-based treatments to address a wide range of problems including anxiety and stress management, OCD, PTSD, mood disorders (ex: depression, bipolar disorder), and insomnia.

As a psychologist at Abbott Therapeutic Solutions, I have dedicated myself to helping teens and adults who suffer from challenging problems. If you have deep wounds, I can help. I specialize in helping people who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, self-harm, substance use, suicidal thoughts, dissociation, and borderline personality disorder. Traditional talk therapy has failed many of our clients. I am able to effectively and compassionately help people with difficult problems by both treating problems at their core and helping people learn the skills and tools they need to live a fulfilling life.

You've experienced infidelity by someone you trust and now you're confused and left to deal with overwhelming decisions. The person you once knew is a stranger who is mistreating you now. You feel sick to your stomach most of the time, can't sleep, hell- you can barely function. And yet you know you have to keep it together. You need support but no one seems to really get it and you're so embarrassed to be in this place in your life. Every memory you have is tainted and you're left questioning the entire history of your relationship. You wonder if this nightmare will ever end. You just want to wake up to a different life.

"If you don't know where you're going, you may never get there." My work supports clients in getting clear with where they want to be going in life, and in learning and applying skills to take meaningful steps aligned with guiding values. I offer clients practical tools and techniques to create more flow and vitality in life. Come away from therapy with more flexibility, humor and confidence to meet life's challenges and see them as opportunities.

Accepting new clients! Congratulations on taking the first step to improve your mental health by seeking the right therapist. Finding the right therapist is all about finding a great fit. Please allow me a moment to introduce myself. I have over 20 years of experience in the field of counseling. All clients are unique, so I tailor my approach to best meet your needs with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which connects thoughts to feelings and behavior, and Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) which are skills to help manage stress and emotions. I hope to help you overcome the obstacles you face and achieve your goals!

I specialize in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and Eating Disorders (ED), working with patients who range in symptom severity and are looking for effective treatment to learn how to manage their concerns. I take a compassionate and gentle approach to exposure based therapies such as ERP. With a commitment to providing the utmost care, I integrate best practices into personalized treatment for adolescents, teens, and adults. Using understanding and empathy, my aim is to gently guide you to find the courage to confront your fears and discomfort, paving the way towards a life of fulfillment and peace.
