Welcome
Welcome to my practice! I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing evidence-based therapy for anxiety and related disorders. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for social anxiety, panic disorder, specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and trichotillomania. I also treat a wide range of other concerns, including - but not limited to -depression, trauma, grief, adjustment difficulties, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, excessive self-criticism, and concerns related to sexual and gender identity.
I provide therapy for adults of all ages, with a particular specialization in young adults (ages 18–28) and college students. I have worked in multiple college counseling centers and completed my postdoctoral residency at Princeton University, giving me extensive experience supporting young adults navigating academic stress, identity development, and life transitions.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, holistic, and grounded in research-supported practices. In our work together, we focus not only on reducing symptoms, but also on improving overall well-being, emotional regulation, and resilience. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to reach their goals.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to help answer any questions that you may have, and to assess whether I can address your concerns. Send me a message and we will set a phone consultation.
Services
Diagnostic Evaluations
During the initial 1-2 sessions, I will provide a detailed diagnostic evaluation to help you understand your symptoms, and will discuss a treatment plan. We will review your current functioning, mental health history, as well as social and family factors that can be contributing to your distress. In addition to a clinical interview, I may ask you to fill out diagnostic questionnaires or with your permission, gather additional information from your other healthcare professionals.
Individual Therapy
Through weekly individual therapy, we can address:
- Anxiety in social situations (e.g., public speaking, test taking, performance, socializing in groups)
- Depressed mood (e.g., sadness, isolation, loneliness, lack of motivation and focus)
- Generalized worries about various aspects of life
- Symptoms of panic
- Obsessive thoughts or repetitive rituals (e.g., worries about germs, excessive handwashing)
- Specific phobias (e.g., fear of flying, fear of blood and injections)
- Hair pulling and skin picking
- Substance use, addictive behaviors, and many other conditions.
Video therapy
In addition to in-person individual therapy, we can also meet via video sessions (through a secure, HIPAA-compliant system that is easily accessible on your smartphone or computer). This may be helpful when you cannot attend a session due to illness, inclement weather, or travel.
I am a PSYPACT credentialed provider and can provide telehealth in most states.
