About My Clients
Are you ready to overcome the overwhelming effects of trauma? Would you like to regain control over panic attacks, excessive worrying, or avoiding situations that cause fear? Do you desire a life that is truly connected to your values? I am here to offer you the support and guidance you truly deserve. As a compassionate psychologist who deeply values evidence-based treatments, self-reflection, and cultural humility, I am dedicated to helping you live a full, meaningful life.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed clinical psychologist, who specializes in Cognitive-Behavioral interventions for a wide array of concerns. These therapies are backed by science and give you the tools to navigate the challenges you're facing. These interventions include: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure-based therapies for PTSD such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). The reality is, great therapy doesn’t happen on accident. It’s the result of two key ingredients: 1. A genuine and collaborative relationship. 2. The expert application of evidence-based interventions to help the you navigate the challenges you're facing. We’ll form a genuine, real partnership that values you, and give you tools to make meaningful, lasting change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
When you work with me, think of it less as meeting with a drill sergeant or a friend, and more as traveling with a guide. A drill sergeant barks order and tells you what to do. They’re the boss, and your job is to follow orders. Some people think therapy is like this. A friend sits and listens to you, maybe offers advice from time to time, and may or may not know how to help you. Other people think therapy is like this. The reality is that therapy, at least with me, is like neither of these things. Instead, think of therapy as two people traveling a path together. In this case one of us (me) is the guide and one of us (you) is the traveler. You are doing your best to navigate your life in the midst of some very real challenges. You don’t need a drill instructor to yell at you, or a friend to be lost beside you. Instead, you need a guide to walk the path with you. I'll use my expertise to provide direction and encouragement as you move towards the life you want to live.
