It’s time to get unstuck
Taking the first step…
Maybe a long-standing fear taking the reins or a lack of motivation has become the norm. Or perhaps you’re being confronted with many demands and what feels like insufficient time to care of your mind and body. You may remember a time when you felt more connected to yourself, and you’ve been craving the space to obtain more clarity on your priorities and reconnect with your most salient values.
How might it feel to have the self-knowledge and practical tools to change the situation?
Your genetic programming, experiences, and current circumstances are unique. I prioritize crafting a highly individualized plan, focused on making identifiable progress toward your specific goals.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with a holistic, trauma-informed approach to treating anxiety/health anxiety and emotional dysregulation. I’m passionate about increasing awareness of the mind-body connection and empowering clients to make choices that serve their overall well-being.
I strive to help others show up authentically in each facet of their lives. I also believe in the healing power of compassionate, direct, and feedback-informed care.
As an integrative therapist, my approach draws from relational, humanistic, and evidenced-based therapies. I believe in the importance of integrating components of physical and emotional health, in an effort to work towards optimal functioning.
In session, I routinely apply principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also draw from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) when working with clients managing OCD and/or obsessive thoughts.
My aim is to help my clients achieve a higher level of awareness and self-understanding. I promote existing strengths, and also challenge clients to build new skills and expand their repertoire of responses to novel or stressful situations.
Some clients I work with include:
Motivated working professional managing feelings of self-doubt and habitually comparing self to others, perhaps over-thinking daily decisions
People-pleaser feeling over-extended managing requests from friends or peers and demands from family
Perfectionist struggling with body image issues and seeking to learn more tools and strategies for challenging an active and rigid inner critic
Achievement-oriented young professional grappling with a lack of values alignment in the current career path and entering a period of exploration, in order to move forward with confidence
Passionate student, feeling overwhelmed by social, academic, and personal commitments, and noticing a pattern of procrastination
Insecurely attached young adult looking for insight into long-standing behavioral and communication patterns that are interfering with the healthy progression of a romantic relationship
Socially anxious individual looking to enhance interpersonal effectiveness skills and broaden strategies for regulating intense emotions, in order to cultivate deeper connections
