Using interventions from ACT, ERP, CBT, and mindfulness, I will help you to act in sustainable, value-aligned ways by changing how you relate to your thoughts and emotions.
Together, we can evaluate how your personality, behaviors, lifestyle, and relationships come together either to promote or impede your health. I am skilled with helping people whose anxiety manifests as obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, perfectionism, and other such behaviors. My attention to all-around health is also useful for working with those experiencing depression or addictive behaviors. In addition, I enjoy supporting individuals experiencing relational or familial difficulties, romantic/sexual dissatisfaction, or issues at the intersection of gender and culture.

I have training and experience in psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral treatment, and draw on other approaches as needed.
Is anxiety or depression preventing you from living a more fulfilling life? Are you feeling overwhelmed by a major transition? Are you unable to move on from an upsetting or traumatic past experience? I help patients change patterns of behavior that are no longer working, and learn new and more effective ways of coping and engaging with life. I believe that embedded in the painful crises that usually bring individuals and couples to therapy, there are also opportunities for self understanding and mastery that can be discovered and realized in a safe healing relationship.

I utilize a psychodynamic (insight oriented) approach, integrating relational therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and trauma informed treatments. I also employ tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mentalization Based Therapy, when clinically appropriate. I strongly believe that our identities and backgrounds, including our culture, sexual orientation, and gender identity, play a large role in our development and identity formation. I value clinical relationships built on trust and aim to foster a safe and judgement-free space that helps my clients gain insight into their feelings, thoughts, and patterns of behavior.
