Welcome to my practice. I am a clinical psychologist with a foundational background in attachment and relational therapy, and over 20 years of experience in cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness-based treatments, including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In fact, I conducted some of the first research evaluating differences in how these therapies work, and how well they work.
I have particular specialties in treating insomnia, depression and anxiety, including social anxiety, panic, PTSD, blood/injury phobia, and OCD. I also specialize in weight loss and binge eating treatments. In addition, I have successfully helped dozens of people reconnect with their core values, and improve the quality of their relationships and well-being.
I also specialize in helping therapists create Professional Wills, to prevent abandonment and threats to clinical records in the event of death/incapacitation, and am the co-founder of TheraClosure.com. In addition, I assist those who have been affected by the loss of a therapist, or who are grieving the loss of a loved one.
I conduct thorough intake evaluations in order to build a comprehensive understanding of causes and sustaining factors, and use this understanding to develop a personalized treatment plan. I pride myself in using the most cutting edge, science-based therapeutic approaches in order to get the very best outcome for every client. I put intense effort into building a strong therapeutic relationship, and work hard to help my clients meet their life goals.
