I offer individual therapy, family therapy, and parent consultations. To treat anxiety and mood disorders, I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches, incorporating gradual exposure therapy when appropriate. I also have extensive experience utilizing Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP) to treat obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) as well as using Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I integrate elements of family systems, motivational interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as needed for each client.

Welcome! I particularly enjoy working with kids, teens, and adults who have a history of big emotions, and are looking for more insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns. Maybe it seems like everything is against you or that life will never get better, or that everyone else seems to have it together except you. Perhaps you have struggled for a long time with controlling your impulses, relationships never seem to stick, and chaos and crisis seems to follow you wherever you go. We can process and relieve feelings such as shame, distrust, overwhelm, panic, irritability, anger, and depression without judgement.

Psychological assessment is often perceived as a way to a diagnosis. Assessment certainly can result in a diagnosis and identify areas for intervention. However, a psychological evaluation can do so much more than that. It can bring a sense of explanation to someone’s experience. An evaluation can help the person feel understood, to feel seen. It can further one’s understanding of the self. All of this can help to facilitate change, by identifying patterns and underlying causes of behaviors. Psychological evaluation is therapeutic, it just relies on data and numbers.
