My primary approach to treatment is cognitive behavioral and I incorporate mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapeutic approaches. The foundation for treatment begins with collaborative goal setting which includes a focus on identifying, clarifying, and/or prioritizing what is important to you in your life and what you want out of treatment. Then we use evidence-based practices to modify or manage the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are getting in the way of you living the life you want to live.
I treat the following problems and disorders:
- Anxiety including panic disorder, generalized anxiety, specific phobias, and social anxiety
- Stress Management
- Lack of meaning in life
- Work/life imbalance
- Major life adjustment (role transition, adjustment to disability, grief)
- Depression
- Relationship problems
- Hoarding Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior Disorders (e.g., skin picking, nail biting, hair pulling)
