I help overthinkers and overachievers who struggle with chronic self-doubt and loneliness, including specific problems with anxiety/worry, depression, and PTSD/trauma. Using personalized, evidence-based psychotherapy, I help my clients work through their difficult pasts and deepest insecurities, so they can more completely understand and accept themselves, connect with others more authentically, and learn to navigate the rest of their lives with a greater sense of calm, clarity, and confidence. I'm a psychologist with a PhD and over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm also passionate about providing high-quality psychotherapy, based in research, and tailored to the unique lived experiences, values, identities, and goals of my clients. From culturally-informed, relational framework, I use cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, often including such therapies as: CPT for PTSD; EMDR; Unified Protocol; Exposure Relaxation and Rescription Therapy for Nightmares (ERRT), and DBT skills training.
