Telehealth psychotherapy and assessments for adults (ages 18+).
I am a clinical psychologist who helps people reenter their lives, especially when getting better has felt out of reach for a long time. You may be diagnosed with "treatment-resistant" depression, or feel trapped by anxiety, PTSD, or OCD. My testing-informed approach to therapy gets at the heart of these issues quickly and offers you greater clarity about "how" to change your behaviors, relationships, and circumstances.
You may feel overlooked by big healthcare systems, which increasingly prioritize speed over genuine understanding. Instead, I focus on building partnerships. Let's take a personalized approach to your mental health.
I work differently by combining treatments with comprehensive assessments right from the start. If we take the time to truly understand you, we can empower you with a targeted plan that may actually lead to meaningful changes.
My goal is to make your therapy as impactful as possible from day one. Therapy should not be a one-size-fits-all, trial-and-error ordeal. I offer a wide array of treatment approaches, which can be tailored to your unique history and goals. Examples include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
Exposure therapy (including prolonged exposure for PTSD).
Positive affect treatment & behavioral activation.
Time-limited dynamic psychotherapy (TLDP).
People can benefit from receiving science-backed insights about their personality, emotions, and interpersonal patterns. By utilizing advanced assessment tools (e.g., MMPI-3, MPQ, and IDAS-II), we can customize an approach that addresses what matters most to you.
I have seen firsthand how mental health symptoms can leave people feeling confused and isolated. As a clinical psychologist, I feel called to respond to that need. Real change, even transformative change, is possible.
There are no guarantees in this line of work. Yet, time and again, I have seen people surprise themselves when they take brave steps to do things differently. It is a privilege to to assist people like you with making those changes. I invite you to reach out with questions about how these approaches may help you, too.
