Work HistoryHi, there. Are you struggling with perfectionism, burnout, stress, anxiety or depression? Despite appearing to lead a very successful life, you face a lot of sadness that your friends and family would be surprised to learn. You sense that a painful experience from the past is impacting your present, but you don't know how. . For some time, you don't even recognize the person reflected back in the mirror. I am a trauma-informed individual and couples therapist. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and trauma. My empathic approach marries a traditional in-depth psychological approach with the latest neuroscience. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems IFS), Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I use the latest treatment modality Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) to help diminish (not manage) chronic pain symptoms. I am extensively trained and have treated a myriad of clients who have faced stress, anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, emotional dysregulation, chronic pain and trauma. I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and hold a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania as well as an MBA from Harvard Business School.
