I work with individuals (ages 14 & up) looking for relief, a change, direction, & for things to not feel so hard anymore. I am licensed to see patients state-wide in CA & PA & have an online teletherapy practice. My treatment style focuses on working to help patients gain a better understanding of what is going on & then teach strategies to lessen intrusive thoughts & anxiety & build confidence. I am able to achieve great results with my patients by helping them figure out what factors & maladaptive patterns get in the way & then assist them in finding ways to alter these patterns so they can reach their full potential.
My goal is for you to notice growth by actively involving you in conversations that build effective skills, strategies, & confidence, resulting in changes in behavior & functioning. Work in therapy is reinforced by individualized exercises & plans, which are implemented outside of therapy sessions to allow for practice & application of skills & strategies.
When you work with me, you can expect to feel my support & encouragement. I am compassionately direct, focused on giving easy-to-understand & remember education & will challenge you to meet your goals & potential. You can certainly anticipate humor & laughter. I want therapy to be productive & while it may be hard at times, I also want it to be enjoyable.

I draw heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). I often break down psychological concepts in easy-to-remember analogies to help for better understanding & application. I am honest. I will push & encourage you when necessary. I will laugh with you. I will point out & celebrate your growth & change. I want therapy to be useful, helpful & enjoyable.
