I enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan -- children starting at age 2, tweens, adolescents, college students, young adults and adults. My specialties include anxiety, OCD, parenting, ADHD, tics, binge eating, and weight management. To achieve your goals, I offer evidence-based therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Exposure Plus Response Prevention (EXRP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
As a therapist, I strive to provide compassionate care to help achieve your goals and lead a healthy, fulfilling life. My collaborative style infuses empathy, warmth, nonjudgment and humor while drawing on your strengths and values. Our work together will build on understanding and using strategies to manage the connections between your mind and body.
Overall, I enjoy instilling hope and confidence in each step of the journey with you toward acceptance, growth and change. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
