Evidence based approaches are used to help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s stuck points. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused strategies, I offer practical tools to support real, lasting change. At the same time, I incorporate psychodynamic and existential perspectives to explore the deeper patterns, emotions, and questions that shape each person's experience. This integrative approach allows us to work not only toward symptom relief, but also toward greater self-understanding, purpose, and emotional resilience. 

Clinically, one of my specializations is treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based approach. ERP involves gradually and safely exposing individuals to thoughts, images, or situations that trigger anxiety- without engaging in compulsive behaviors. Through this structured process, clients learn to tolerate uncertainty and reduce the power OCD has over their lives. Newer perspectives on the developmental dynamics that underlie symptoms related to over-control are also explored to help challenge deeply flowing patterns of rigidity and avoidance. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to meet each person's unique needs and goals. 

As a published researcher and educator in the field of career decision-making, I offer coaching and consulting services designed to support individuals through key transitions- whether it's choosing a college path, navigating a mid-career shift, or finding renewed meaning in retirement. My approach emphasizes the importance of aligning career decisions with personal values, aptitudes, and overall fit into the life you want to live. Grounded in evidence-based practices and assessments, our work together goes beyond surface-level advice to explore your unique strengths, motivations, and goals with the overall goal of helping you make informed, fulfilling choices at every stage of your professional journey.
