My Approach

Therapeutic Framework

As both a clinician and a researcher, I believe that effective care begins with understanding the whole person, their experiences, goals, and the science that can best support them. My work is grounded in research and guided by empathy. I draw on cognitive and behavioral approaches, integrating strategies that fit each person’s unique needs and values.

​​

A Collaborative and Humanistic Process

In therapy, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes that improve your daily life. I take an evidence-based and humanistic approach, meaning I use methods supported by science while viewing our work as a collaborative partnership built on trust, respect, and compassion. I strive to see the world through my client’s perspective and understand how their experiences, challenges, and values shape how they think, feel, and engage with the world.

​​

Goal-Oriented, Personalized Care

I provide individualized therapy for conditions such as OCD, anxiety disorders, ADHD, misophonia, perfectionism, and depression, always tailoring treatment to each person’s strengths and challenges. In our work together, we set clear goals and regularly review progress to ensure therapy remains effective and aligned with what matters most to you. When needed, we adjust our approach to keep moving toward meaningful and sustainable change. My work focuses on helping people move from self-criticism and rigidity toward flexibility, confidence, self-understanding, and self-compassion.

​​

Comprehensive Intake and Assessment

Because of this approach, I begin every therapeutic relationship with a comprehensive intake process that includes a careful assessment of each client’s history, current concerns, symptoms, and presenting conditions. This evaluation is an essential first step in creating a focused, personalized treatment plan that supports progress from the very start.

Neuropsychological Evaluation Philosophy

In my neuropsychological assessments, I combine research-based testing with in-depth clinical evaluation and diagnostic formulation. Rather than treating cognitive testing and clinical evaluation as separate steps, I carefully assess and integrate both cognitive performance and clinical presentation to develop an accurate diagnosis and targeted, practical recommendations for treatment, education, and work.

​​

I have particular expertise in adult ADHD and OCD, including research on how cognitive functions are affected by intrusive thoughts and emotional states, such as anxiety-related problems, stress, depression, etc. My assessments explore these areas in depth to clarify underlying patterns and identify targeted recommendations.

​​

​Grounded in Science, Guided by Compassion

Above all, I view every assessment and therapeutic relationship as an opportunity to empower you with knowledge, compassion, and tools to help you live more effectively and authentically. My primary goal is to help my clients live a full, meaningful life that reflects their values.
