Great to meet you!

As a clinical psychologist, I help adolescents and adults work through problems such as anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, and interpersonal issues. Together, we will discuss goals for therapy and create a plan to meet those goals. I will assist you in learning how to identify unhelpful, automatic thoughts and restructure those thoughts into more helpful ones. My goal is to teach you skills that you can utilize throughout your life, beyond the therapy room.

My approach to therapy

I am well-versed in current research trends and practice using evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression and anxiety, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties, Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD, and prolonged exposure for trauma and phobias.

What you can expect from me

The process of therapy is difficult. It requires emotional energy, a time commitment, and it can be expensive. When a client begins therapy, I am grateful to be able to present treatment options that are proven to have high success rates. You are welcome to call, text, or email to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation.
