As human beings we all face struggles in life, and at times, we can really benefit from an outside perspective to help us work through difficulties. From an early age, I developed an interest in understanding how people think and behave. This interest evolved into a desire to help others manage life’s problems. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I feel privileged to have this opportunity. A healthy therapeutic experience is built upon honesty, integrity, and respect. I view therapy as a collaborative process and utilize an integrative approach because it allows me to incorporate various treatment modalities in a way that best suits the needs of my clients. My primary therapeutic orientation is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). As needed, I utilize other evidence-based approaches including: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). I work with my clients to explore their symptoms, as well as their short and long-term goals, in order to determine the best course of treatment. A good therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving symptom reduction as well as healthy pursuit of goals. I work with individuals 18 and over. My therapy sessions are often a combination of processing stressors and emotional experiences with development of healthy coping skills. I have been trained as a generalist and assist individuals in a number of areas including: depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, relationship issues, self-compassion, communication skills, anger management, life transitions, grief/loss, and trauma.
