About My Clients
I work only with adults 18+. If you're having trouble with behaviors or emotions that are difficult to control, I can likely help! Particular areas of specialty include eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, OCD (including hair pulling and skin picking), and depression. I work very well with college students and working professionals. Life is difficult and busy, and mental health concerns oftentimes get in the way of how we want to experience our lives. I would like to help!
My Background and Approach
I am a doctoral level clinical psychologist who has worked in academia as a professor and director of a psychology training clinic, in private practice (currently), and I have also worked in the VA system as well as in a university counseling center. I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, which is the gold standard treatment for many of the mental health concerns I work with. This is a very concrete, very focused treatment. You and I would discuss your personal treatment goals and a therapy based on CBT principles would be created specific to your needs. CBT therapies are all well researched and based on evidence from many clinical studies, and it would be from these studies that we would tailor the treatment to your needs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Everyone is capable of change. Whether the difficulties you've been experiencing are new this month or have been present for most of your life, there is always hope that things can be different. CBT therapy focuses on changing how we think and what behavior we engage in, and manifests larger changes in how we feel by fostering change in these two areas of living. Therapy is often seen as difficult and scary, but it doesn't have to be. We can work together to foster a safe and supportive space where we create the change you want to see in your own life. You no longer have to be controlled by your past, the way you feel, other people, or external circumstances. I see this change every day, and I believe that nearly everyone can lead more fulfilling, positive, and easier lives.
