About my practice

Sometimes therapists spend more time chatting about your week than doing actual treatment that will yield change and results. There is a place for supportive counseling, but most people are seeking therapy to make big changes in their lives. I will set goals with you from the start and then each session will be targetted towards change and achieving those goals. I utilize exposure therapy, EMDR, dialectical behavioral therapy skills training, and CBT to help break old unhelpful patterns and build new ones. This experience will feel different than traditional "talk therapy." 

I offer individual therapy to adults who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationships, and a wide variety of other mental health concerns. Common issues I treat are OCD, trauma and complex trauma, PTSD, panic, generalized anxiety/worry, rumination, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, depression, childhood invalidation, and relationship issues (I do not provide couple's therapy).

I utilize evidence-based practice, with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy as my main therapeutic orientations. I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also specialize in treating all forms of trauma, whether it is a single incident or many incidents over a lifetime. I utilize EMDR, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to treat trauma and PTSD, and will provide my clients with my recommendation of which of these will be the best fit for their needs. I completed level 1 EMDR training and received specialized trauma training in PE and CPT through my VA hospital internship.

I'm available for both in person and virtual appointments and can happily switch between those formats as is convenient for my clients.

I typically see people for 50-55 minute appointments but will also see for 90 minute sessions upon request. 

I have my Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate from the ASPPB from the PSYPACT commission, meaning I am licensed to see people virtually in any PSYPACT approved state. Click this link and any state in blue is a state I can practice in! https://psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap
