I am a health psychologist with expertise in the treatment of chronic fear/anxiety and health conditions (pain, substance use, etc.) I have extensive research experience (95 scientific articles and book chapters; National Institutes of Health funding) which I draw upon to provide innovative and up-to-date psychological care. My practice is rooted in scientific evidence of what works, and I stay informed on the latest treatment advancements. My goal is not for you to be in therapy forever. I want to help you learn tools so that you become your own therapist. You cannot redo your past; you can make changes now for a better future.
I use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people think and respond more flexibly to challenges in their lives. I’ll work with you to learn mindfulness skills to be grounded and present; acceptance to let go of thoughts, emotions, memories, and situations holding you back; and how to better engage with the people and activities that matter to you.
You have many options when it comes to finding the right therapist. Whether this would be your first time seeing a therapist or you have been in therapy before and have not progressed as you had hoped, hesitation is natural. Reach out for a free consultation call to see if we might be a good fit to work together or if you have any questions.
