About My Clients
Clients often work with me because they want to go beyond bandaid strategies for anxiety, stress, and trauma. Often they have learned to manage high stress events by working harder and suppressing or masking their feelings to keep going. Now, insomnia, panic attacks, nightmares or intrusive thoughts about the past may be showing up, or constant anxiety that is keeping them from living in the present. They are looking for help to make lasting changes and are ready to do the work to get there.
My Background and Approach
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who offers evidence-based treatments for stress-related difficulties, anxiety disorders, insomnia, and the impacts of trauma. I draw on advanced graduate training and postdoctoral work helping people heal from events ranging from childhood abuse to combat trauma. The therapy methods I use have a strong track record in helping people understand and find relief from the aftermath of trauma as well as a host of other symptoms and patterns that can intersect with trauma. This often includes learning skills for countering anxiety, calming the nervous system, and engaging with difficult situations through gradual practice and creative problem-solving. Besides collaborating to help you expand your ability to handle specific triggers and challenges, I offer opportunities to process and make sense of the impact that living through these experiences has had and to explore meaningful ways to build the future you want.
