About me
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and cognitive behavioral therapist with more than two decades of experience helping adults make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
CBT is the foundation of my practice, but good therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Specializing in anxiety , OCD, panic and insomnia, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches depending on the person and the problem we are working on. My goal is to create therapy that that is thoughtful and challenging while still feeling very human. I value directness, curiosity, humor, and a strong therapeutic relationship. I also believe clients should leave therapy with skills they can continue using long after treatment ends. I regularly incorporate behavioral strategies, exposure-based approaches, mindfulness and acceptance techniques, and other CBT interventions when they fit the needs of the client.
