About Me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified perinatal mental health clinician (PMH-C) with over 10 years of experience working with adults with depression and anxiety in a variety of settings including private practice, inpatient and outpatient mental health, specialized clinics, and research settings. I work in collaboration with each client to identify and understand the problems they are facing in their lives, and tailors her therapeutic approach to meet the client’s specific needs and treatment goals. She provides a supportive and safe environment where clients can feel open to express and explore feelings and thoughts. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist (CBT), I believe that a present-focused and active approach to therapy is most effective and I encourage clients to engage in research-based strategies outside of therapy sessions in order to progress towards their goals. I am also certified in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and utilize EMDR to process past experiences or stuck points that contribute to present distress. I am also trained in several evidence-based treatments including interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), exposure and response prevention (EXRP), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I have extensive experience and clinical interests in helping adults address depression, anxiety in the perinatal period and in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
