I am a clinical psychologist, author, national speaker, and former professor with 25+ years of experience. I see adults, teens and couples for in person and video therapy. My specialties are relationship issues, trauma and PTSD, anxiety disorders and OCD, self-esteem issues, stress-management, substance use disorders and codependency, grief, life transitions. My approach is integrative, focusing on brain-mind-body-spirit-relationships-environment. My approach to therapy is uplifting, active, integrative, compassionate and research-based. I use clinically tested methods combined with intuition, practicality, and personalized care. As author of The Stress-Proof Brain, my clinical practice is informed by neuroscience principles. The science of adult attachment and mindfulness also informs my care. I am an expert in methods such as EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, or Schema Therapy. A national expert, I have taught therapists throughout the US and in Australia. My work has been featured in USA Today, Yahoo News, NBC, Psychology Today, Business Insider and many other publications. I have immediate availability for new patients.
