My Approach to Helping

I am an anxiety and trauma expert, and specialize in treating relationship/attachment anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, Phobias, work/school stress, and OCD. Living with chronic fear and panic is exhausting and painful. It is comforting to know, however, that Anxiety Disorders are very treatable and enjoy high success rates with proper care. If you suffer with daily feelings of nervousness, dread, nightmares or panic, I can help.

More Info About My Practice

I offer 15 years of experience working with individuals within various settings including those with severe abuse histories, and complex trauma. I use a variety of treatment approaches including EMDR, a highly researched and effective method of treatment of traumatic stress.

I'm happy to provide a free of charge phone consultation to begin getting to know each other, and get a grasp of your needs.

My fee is $100-$125 per session.

I am not on any insurance panels. However, I can provide for you a super bill at the end of each month to mail to your insurance carrier, who may cover all or part of my fee.

Please visit my website for articles about anxiety, EMDR, and for more information about my background and training.

My Role as a Therapist

In the first phase of therapy, my role as a therapist is to help you find effective ways to manage your anxiety, to pinpoint what needs to change in the short term, and provide relief from the feelings of overwhelm that many anxiety sufferers feel. In the subsequent phases of therapy my role becomes more collaborative as you and I work together to bring you to where you want to be in life.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance

The client-therapist relationship is the most important factor in therapy. This is a sacred collaboration built on trust, safety, hard work for both parties, honesty, and respect. It is a both a professional and personal relationship that is designed to support you through difficult times, and help you to acquire new ways of being in the world that will ultimately serve you better.
