About

Most of my clients come to me with anxiety, obsessive compulsive, or trauma disorders. They find their worlds shrinking as a result and aren't sure how to break the cycle. For clients with anxiety and trauma disorders, I use exposure therapy to break cycles of fear, anxiety, and avoidance. I also see clients troubled by marginalization due to identity, relationship struggles, substance use, and psychotic disorders, and they too deal with pain that gets in the way of what's important in their lives. They often feel trapped or stuck and want to find a way through the barriers keeping them from meaning and purpose in their lives. With almost all clients, I integrate the behavioral approaches of acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT) and compassion-focused therapy (CFT) to help you discover what's important, take meaningful action in that direction, and use mindfulness skills to relate more compassionately, rather than judgmentally, to painful thoughts and emotions.
