I provide therapy for adolescents and adults with all anxiety disorders using mindfulness based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Specifically, I work with people who have obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder,generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic with or without agoraphobia, and specific fears such as driving, flying, getting needles, you name it. I integrate mindfulness training with CBT because exposure to what is feared can feel overwhelming without mindfulness training or some other way of weathering extreme fear.

I believe that in order to change anything, we first need to understand and accept it. This is done through talking. I bring an empathetic, worldly, and multidisciplinary approach to help you gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what you want. We all repeat the same patterns through our lives that sometimes prevent us from happiness.Through therapy, we can start to observe those patterns, and then decide how we want to change them.

I was once told that I was a teacher, a soldier, and a warrior — and I remember thinking, “I don’t think that’s me." When I asked how can I be all those things, I was told that the universe choose me to be a therapist to teach others about the light and dark — to show others that we are all capable of living a fulfilled life and we can face the things that scare us the most. I grew to understand and believe that because it is my purpose in life to help others; to guide others into the light and guide them to create meaningful changes.
