My Specialties:
Skills That Last A Lifetime
Insomnia
Chronic sleep problems require specialized intervention beyond basic sleep hygiene. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold-standard treatment with very high success rates. This structured, evidence-based protocol typically resolves sleep issues in 6-8 sessions without medication dependency. You'll receive comprehensive sleep assessment, personalized sleep restriction protocols, and cognitive restructuring techniques that provide lasting results.
Panic
Panic disorder responds exceptionally well to targeted behavioral interventions when properly implemented. I utilize interoceptive exposure protocols and cognitive restructuring specifically designed for panic symptoms. This treatment directly addresses the fear-of-fear cycle that maintains panic disorder, typically showing significant improvement within 6-10 sessions. The intervention provides you with concrete tools to interrupt panic cycles permanently.
Anxiety and perfectionism
High-functioning anxiety and perfectionism require sophisticated treatment approaches that address both symptoms and underlying cognitive patterns. I provide specialized training in mindfulness-based interventions and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), proven effective for performance anxiety and perfectionist thinking. This treatment includes exposure work for anxiety avoidance and values-based behavioral change strategies.
PTSD and Trauma
Trauma treatment requires expert assessment and carefully titrated intervention strategies. I provide comprehensive trauma therapy utilizing evidence-based protocols including prolonged exposure. Treatment is individually tailored based on trauma complexity, symptom presentation, and your readiness for intervention. This collaborative approach ensures sustainable recovery while maintaining your agency throughout the process.
