About Me
I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults and have expertise in treating individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and compulsive and addictive behaviors. I believe that while developing insight is an important component of therapy, developing new ways of thinking and acting are necessary tools to help you build the life you want to live.
​
My approach focuses on combining the science of evidence-based treatment with the art of individualized care. I use a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative approach to help clients learn effective ways of managing their emotions and living healthy,
fulfilling lives.
​
Finding a good fit for your needs and style is a critical component of therapy. I would be happy to speak by phone to help you learn more about me.
