Psychotherapy Informed by Science

We use an interdisciniplinary approach to clinical work that relies on research.  This means that information derived from scientific data is integrated into each client's individualized treatment plan.   The goal is to provide the most effective, safe, and economical solutions available for behavioral disorders.  

"Knowing how things work is important, but I think that's an incomplete view of what science literacy is or, at least, should be. Science literacy is an outlook.  It's more of a lens through which you observe what goes on around you."

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Couples Therapy

Over time, individuals can get lost in the minutiae of life and develop maladaptive strategies within their marriage or partnership. By emphasizing stress reduction for both partners, improving communication skills, and using cognitive behavioral therapy to encourage healthy emotional flow within the relationship, we assist couples in meeting their partnership objectives.

Anxiety Disorders

Fear is the output of a motivational system in the brain designed to keep us alive. We've all felt the effects of our fear system at one time or another (e.g., looking at the ground from 10 stories high, watching a scary movie, having a near-miss traffic accident).  Under the right circumstances, the fear system can become hyper-sensitive and produce phobic responses that are out of proportion to the situation at hand.  Sometimes fear is too easily provoked by thoughts and memories of previous experiences. Disorders like phobias and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are the result of the fear system gone awry.  We specialize in Prolonged Exposure and EMDR therapy for trauma-related distress.  Call our office today for more information.  Click below if you would like to read more about anxiety disorders:
