Individual Therapy

Therapy is a deeply personal process that requires active participation. Therapy can help you to gain understanding about difficulties that keep you from achieving your goals. Therapy can also help you to work on identifying and enhancing your skills to manage those difficulties. All treatment sessions are intended to be collaborative and strengths-based. To help you achieve your goals and live a life consistent with your values, I use research-based treatments and principles.

I work with people to address a range of presenting concerns, including:

  • Trauma and stress-related difficulties (e.g., PTSD, nightmares, moral injury)

  • Insomnia

  • Depression

  • Anxiety (e.g., panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder)

  • Grief

  • Life transitions

  • Emotion dysregulation

  • Interpersonal problems

  • Stress management

I welcome individuals of diverse demographic identities to my practice. I have expertise working with individuals who may have experienced trauma and/or stressors related to their unique identities (for example, as related to sexual orientation or gender identity). I also have extensive experience working with Veterans, including survivors of combat and military sexual trauma (MST).

Trauma and Sleep

As a trauma and sleep specialist, I am trained in a number of treatment protocols with a strong evidence base for these specific difficulties.

PTSD

Trauma-related Nightmares

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Nightmares (CBT-N)*

Insomnia

*I have been designated a certified provider in these treatments, meaning I participated in advanced training and consultation through reputable training programs: National Center for PTSD/VA Boston (CPT); Emory University (PE); University of Tulsa (CBT-N).
