Psychotherapy
Individualized, Evidence-Based Psychotherapy
I provide psychotherapy for adults facing emotional distress, longstanding psychological concerns, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. With more than 25 years of clinical experience, I tailor treatment to each person's circumstances and goals, drawing on established approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).
I work with people from many backgrounds, including professionals and executives who manage substantial responsibilities while privately experiencing anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, or other difficulties.
Anxiety and Depression
I help adults manage persistent worry, panic, social anxiety, depressed mood, loss of motivation, and related difficulties. Treatment focuses on understanding the factors maintaining distress, developing effective coping strategies, and restoring a greater sense of balance and engagement in daily life.
Learn MoreTrauma and PTSD
Traumatic experiences can affect sleep, relationships, concentration, and a person's sense of safety. I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy for adults experiencing posttraumatic stress symptoms, including those related to interpersonal trauma, abuse, and other difficult experiences. Treatment proceeds at a pace appropriate to each individual.
OCD and Phobias
Obsessive thoughts, compulsive rituals, and intense fears can significantly restrict daily life. I use evidence-based approaches, including exposure and response prevention (ERP) when appropriate, to help clients respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce avoidance, and regain flexibility.
Adult ADHD and Executive Functioning
Adults with ADHD may struggle with attention, organization, procrastination, time management, or emotional regulation, even when they are highly accomplished. Therapy can help identify practical strategies for managing these challenges and addressing associated stress, self-criticism, or relationship difficulties.
Insomnia and Sleep Difficulties
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or returning to sleep can affect mood, concentration, and overall well-being. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), an evidence-based treatment that addresses behaviors and thought patterns contributing to persistent sleep difficulties.
Relationship and Interpersonal Difficulties
Individual psychotherapy can help with recurring relationship conflicts, difficulty setting boundaries, betrayal, emotional abuse, and patterns that undermine self-confidence or intimacy. Together, we explore these dynamics and work toward healthier decisions and more satisfying relationships.
Stress, Burnout, Grief, and Life Transitions
Professional demands, caregiving responsibilities, loss, retirement, and major personal changes can create significant emotional strain. I help clients clarify priorities, manage stress, process grief, and navigate transitions with greater confidence and flexibility.
Women's Mental Health
I work with women experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, emotional abuse, burnout, self-esteem difficulties, and the competing demands of personal and professional life. Therapy offers space to strengthen boundaries, examine choices, and pursue goals consistent with personal values.
