About Me
With 25 years of experience, I offer compassionate online psychotherapy for children through adults. I help clients navigate diverse concerns, from trauma's lasting impact with EMDR, to managing OCD using ERP. We can explore deep-seated patterns and find practical ways forward, including support for sexual addiction. This accessible online approach suits those seeking focused, individualised guidance for complex emotional challenges.
Approach
Sessions move between focused, paced exploration and concrete practice so we can process feelings without getting overwhelmed. Through secure teletherapy from Columbia, Maryland, in English, I use careful titration, brief experiments in thought and behaviour, and paced emotional processing to help you notice patterns, build tolerance, and test new responses between meetings. Meetings feel collaborative and measured—sometimes intensive, sometimes steady—so change is both felt and practiced. This approach suits people wanting honest, focused work on entrenched fears, shame, or compulsions.
