When working with trauma, I start by building the relationship trust, and then going at the client's pace. I'm trained in evidence-based modalities for trauma, including cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I've worked with clients with many types of trauma including complex trauma, and I appreciate the effort and courage it takes to work on trauma in therapy.

I enjoy working with clients with anxiety, because we can make big changes in their quality of life. I'm trained in evidence-based approaches to anxiety including cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I've worked with clients with generalized anxiety, health anxiety, agoraphobia, panic disorder, social anxiety, and specific phobias, using these approaches. It's gratifying to see their lives can open up and moving toward what they care about.

When working with OCD, I start by understanding the client's perspective on their thoughts and compulsive behaviors, and then provide psycho-education and options. I'm trained in several evidence-based modalities for OCD, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and inference-based cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT). I also enjoy working with clients with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), using these same modalities, tailored to BDD.

I'm trained in evidence-based interventions for trauma, including cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These approaches all help clients move forward with a more flexible, open approach to life, so that they can move toward meaning and purpose, rather than remain stuck.

My training in CBT began in graduate school and continued through my pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship. I supervise and train other therapists in CBT, including a variety of protocols for anxiety, ADHD, depression, and transdiagnostic approaches.
