About My Clients

Are you burdened by intense moments of fear or worry? Do you keep having panic attacks that feel like your chest is pounding and you can’t breathe? Are you haunted by recurring nightmares and intruding memories of traumatic events? Are you burdened by disturbing thoughts and excessive cleaning or rituals? Do you feel down, depressed, and/or hopeless? Why continue suffering? With the right treatment, you can get better and get back to living the life you have always wanted to live.

My Background and Approach

Often we try avoiding or controlling problems in daily life, and this works (fixing a flat tire, avoiding a tornado). When we try this with anxiety, thoughts, memories, and what evokes anxiety and panic, we only get locked in tighter, like a finger trap. Just like pushing into the trap, it loosens, and we can free ourselves to live the life we have been waiting for. While traditional talk therapy is effective in some circumstances, it often falls short in treating these problems, leading clients to feel like nothing will work. I specialize in treating PTSD, OCD, panic attacks, and anxiety-related disorders with exposure-based therapies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The techniques and treatment I provide are firmly based on decades of scientific research. With them, I can help you open to the experience of anxiety and fear, in a meaningful, empowering, and fun way, that can reduce the severity of symptoms and drastically improve quality of life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a scientist-practitioner, all the clinical decisions and treatments I provide are firmly rooted in science and evidence. I believe the goal of therapy is to help you get better and go live the life you have always wanted to live. I believe that anyone with mental health struggles can get better and pursue a meaningful and fulfilling life. No one is beyond help or recovery. I have enjoyed working with people from many different countries, cultures, ethnicities, genders, sexual identities, and backgrounds. I strongly believe in gender affirming care as well as promoting one's authentic identity in therapy. These experiences have taught me the importance of keeping one's culture, spirituality, values, and intersectional identities front-and-center when working together in therapy.
