Services

I offer individual therapy, family therapy, and parent consultations. To treat anxiety and mood disorders, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, incorporating exposure therapy when appropriate. Exposure therapy is a process that gradually helps you face your fears in a controlled manner, allowing you to slowly become less anxious. 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, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as needed for each client. I use therapeutic methods firmly rooted in the most up-to-date evidence base and tailor treatment to each individual.  It is my goal to provide a warm, empathic, culturally sensitive, and non-judgmental therapy environment for all clients.
