Clinical Expertise and Specialized Training
I treat patients using an array of cognitive behavioral and behavioral medicine interventions across the spectrum of health and illness. My clinical expertise centers around the theory and practice of mindfulness and acceptance-based interventions (e.g., ACT, DBT), while integrating other therapeutic modalities and techniques (interpersonal, psychodynamic, existential/humanistic). I use mindfulness, acceptance, and behavioral commitment to help improve my patients' distress, functioning, quality of life, meaning/purpose, and symptoms while facing medical and mental illness.
I specialize in treating patients and families who are adjusting to medical illnesses - particularly neurological illnesses and medical traumas (e.g., stroke, dementias, traumatic brain injuries, eye trauma) and co-occurring adjustment. In my clinical practice, I also see patients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, psychosocial adjustment, grief, adult ADHD, and trauma.
