You feel like your emotions have taken over your life. Whether it's due to a traumatic event, unrelenting anxiety, or day-to-day stress, you just can't seem to "pull it together." It feels like your life is getting smaller and less fulfilling by the day. You have tried so many things to make yourself feel better and more in control, but these are only temporary fixes. You may have even tried therapy before and found that it helped to vent your feelings - but that the relief didn't last for very long. You are ready to make some real changes in your life, but you don't know how or where to begin.
I am here to help you get unstuck. I offer evidence-based psychotherapy - therapy that has been extensively studied and shown to lead to meaningful improvements in clients' lives. I specialize in evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral therapy for adults with PTSD, OCD, generalized anxiety, panic, health anxiety, depression, and emotion dysregulation.
Asking for help is an act of bravery. E-mail or call me and we will work together to develop a plan to meet your needs. I offer HIPAA-compliant telepsychology sessions and have been granted the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) by the PSYPACT commission.

I work with clients recovering from trauma, anxiety, depression, and/or dysregulated emotions. Our first few sessions will focus on getting to know one another and identifying the goals you want to achieve in therapy. I will support and guide you as you begin to systematically engage with things you are avoiding, shift your relationship to your thoughts and emotions, and build a more full life.

I often use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in my practice, which helps clients to overcome harmful patterns of avoidance, re-evaluate their thoughts, and develop new skills to manage difficult emotions. Change doesn't just happen during the therapy hour, and I will help you learn strategies that you can use during the other 167 hours in your week!
