Introduction

I empower individuals to discover their resiliency, harness the energy of their anxiety in productive ways, and better manage negative unhelpful worry thinking. Anxiety results in the space between overestimating the probability of danger AND underestimating your ability to cope with it. My philosophy for healing is that everyone has strength and resiliency to cope with much more than they could imagine, and through therapy you discover those strengths and how to implement them. I have worked with hundreds of clients in 15+ years as a licensed therapist. Having been an active duty military spouse for 20 years, I’ve been licensed in 6 states and have vast experience providing therapy to diverse populations in numerous settings with various needs. This led me to focus more on primary anxiety conditions (such as general anxiety, panic, phobias) and OCD, to secondary anxiety (from ADHD, autism, sensory integration) to external stressors (societal, medical, environmental, financial). A significant rise in anxiety has occurred in the general population over the past several years. There are many factors contributing to this, which you can find in my blog and various social media posts. In addition to keeping abreast of mental health trends and research, I am fascinated by how technology is changing every industry, including therapy. This piqued my interest in integrating technology with evidence-based therapy models. Virtual reality simulation has been studied and used in several universities and the Department of Defense to treat trauma, phobias, OCD, and anxiety. Combining this technology with evidence based psychotherapy can result in significant improvements in a short amount of time. This inspired me to offer this cutting edge therapy tool of Virtual Reality Therapy in my practice. I use research-proven Virtual Reality Immersion Therapy (VRIT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ExRP or ERP), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (M-CBT), Somatic Experiencing, and other evidence-based techniques to help clients face fears and anxieties in imaginal, live, and virtual environments while teaching mindfulness, cognitive skills, and how to regulate body sensations. I offer weekend and evening hours, as well as the secure messaging for established clients. Please visit my blog and social media sites for articles on wellness and mental health education.
