I draw from DBT, CBT, mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies to address mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD & trauma, OCD, emotion dysregulation, substance use, relationships problems, career/academic stress, and life transitions.

I work with adults to relieve suffering, to develop resilience, and to enhance their ability to experience high-level well-being. Specialty areas include anxiety; stress; obsessive-compulsive challenges; creativity blocks; life transitions; self-management for chronic diseases; and adjunctive-to-medical approaches to cancer, during and after treatment. I use an integrative approach tailored to the needs, abilities, and interests of each patient or couple.

It's normal to have ups and downs in life, but when dissatisfaction with where you're at becomes chronic, that's a sign that something needs attention. Change is possible as we come to know ourselves more deeply and as we broaden our capacity to weather the vicissitudes of life. Wherever you are in your own process, I would be honored to join you in the challenging but deeply rewarding work of developing that inner knowing. Reach out for an initial consultation to see if we're a fit.
