About Me

In order to provide the most effective treatments possible, I stay current with published research related to my work. I also pursue training in approaches that are scientifically demonstrated to lead to positive outcomes.

​

One model of cognitive-behavioral treatment known as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is well-supported by research.Studies have documented the effectiveness of ACT with a range of problems and areas of human functioning. I have found that clients begin to experience change quite early in treatment using ACT processes. I have training and experience using ACT processes with people experiencing a range of difficulties and people wanting to enhance well-being or live more meaningfully. I also have training in techniques from IFS therapy, Schema Therapy and metacognitive therapy. I integrate these techniques in treatment when it will lead to better outcomes.

​

For certain disorders, science indicates that a specific protocol is highly effective. These are sometimes thought of as Gold Standard treatment models. Through specialized training, I have developed expertise in some of these models including Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD, CBT-i for insomnia and Exposure Therapy for anxiety disorders.
