I provide a warm, non-judgmental place to do the work of therapy. Together, I will work with you to identify specific short- and long-term goals, and to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. With humor, kindness, and honest examination, I will gently encourage you to gain insight and try out new approaches that will allow you to heal and grow. I’ll also try to laugh with you as much as I possibly can, because the best therapy is fun therapy.

My treatment approach draws from a number of effective, scientifically tested treatments. These include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and integrative behavioral couples therapy (IBCT). My approach is time-limited, meaning you—or you and your partner—won’t be seeing me forever. Therapy with me lasts between 15 and 25 sessions, on average.

These treatments all work to help individuals identify thoughts and behavioral patterns that are individually or interpersonally keeping them stuck, learn to manage painful thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and develop strategies to engage in life in more fulfilling and healthier ways.
