About My Clients
Do you feel like you are constantly battling with your own mind or body? You may be struggling with intrusive anxiety, traumatic memories, or physical pain or chronic illness. And your methods of coping are not serving you - you feel so locked in avoidance, suppression, or distraction that you can’t recognize yourself or what you stand for. Your life feels centered on avoiding pain instead of your most important values.
My Background and Approach
I can help you identify and break out of long-lived patterns that are not working for you. We can’t always control what happens to us. But with the right skills and support, you can find the strength to relate differently to the painful parts of your life, and infuse more choice into how you spend your time. I am trained in the treatment of anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, and compulsive or problematic substance use. My approach is flexible, collaborative, and grounded in the most up-to-date scientific evidence. I practice primarily "third-wave" cognitive behavioral therapies with a focus on mindfulness, acceptance, and active skills to help change behaviors and ways of thinking. I have extensive training in treating trauma and PTSD, and use evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR).
