Welcome to my Practice

 

As a psychologist, I have always been incredibly passionate about helping my clients improve their quality of life. To facilitate this process, I provide a warm, supportive environment with respectful and non-judgmental listening to your personal concerns. My style is active and goal-oriented, meaning that I ask thought provoking questions, use encouragement and offer new perspectives and strategies. I guide clients through the challenging situations that bring them to therapy to discover solutions for healing, symptom relief, growth and a more balanced life.

Since everyone’s situation is unique, my treatment approach is individualized depending on your particular needs and goals. I specialize in the use of Cognitive and Behavioral methods (CBT, ERP, ACT and Mindfulness) that are all research based and have scientific support for their effectiveness. I treat a wide variety of symptoms, with Advanced Expertise in Anxiety Disorders, primarily Chronic Worry, Panic Disorder, OCD, Health Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Phobias/fears, and Perfectionism.

I have provided therapy for over 20 years helping clients overcome difficult challenges in a variety of settings including College Counseling centers, Hospitals, Intensive Outpatient Programs, Community Mental Health clinics, in addition to providing Continuing Education Trainings/Workshops for professionals. I’ve witnessed the immense courage it takes to seek help, identify obstacles, and gain new perspectives to heal. I look forward to working together to uncover your unique strengths and use them on a path toward success. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to work with you or your loved ones, as I view each relationship as an honor and privilege.

I currently have openings to provide therapy both in-person and virtually in NC and only virtually in CA.
