Individual Psychotherapy

My practice focuses on supporting individuals who are struggling with PTSD, moral injury, loss, and midlife pivots. I specialize in guiding clients through trauma, moral injury, profound loss, and major life transitions. My approach is especially attuned to high-performing, ambivalent, or reluctant individuals seeking real transformation.

Populations I have Specialized Training in Supporting:

  • Veterans: Nationally Recognized Expertise: As a board-certified clinical psychologist and national CPT trainer, I’ve led Veteran clinical services and research within the Veterans Health Administration for 15 years. Now, Veterans with PTSD can access top-tier, evidence-based therapy with me—free through the Headstrong Project. Reach out to find out more about this opportunity!

  • Journalists: I have received specialized training to support journalists, and am proud to be part of the Journalist Trauma Support Network. I have deep respect for those among us committed to seeking and telling the truth, and recognize the potentially morally injurious events that journalists face at this time in our society. Let’s talk if you are a journalist struggling with PTSD, loss or moral distress.

  • Former Professional Athletes: It is said that “every athlete dies twice.” I help athletes who are mourning the loss of their competitive career. I help you let go of what might be gone forever, resurrect the values that drew you to excellence in the first place, redirect the discipline and passion that drove you in your sport, and help you find an “upgrade” in the pursuit of new adventures.

  • Public Servants: Whether you are CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue, Cyber Security, or related field, I would love to support your pursuit of moral resilience. You have dedicated yourself to a craft, and have served with excellence. Perhaps something stopped working for you, or you experienced institutional betrayal. Maybe an injury in the line of duty or a particularly distressing case changed your relationship with the work. Let’s talk—we can examine the wounds and pull out any shrapnel still in there so you can heal!

  • Healthcare Workers Experiencing Burnout: Sometimes the daily demands of the work make it difficult to “fill up” enough to keep giving. Other times, the System takes a toll, as the “good idea fairies” above you increase demands in ways that don’t serve you or the individual seeking help. Perhaps a particularly hard circumstance has hindered your ability to show up in the way you know you want to. The heart has two chambers—two for receiving and two for giving. Let’s get you back into circulation so you can serve again.

  • Spiritual Leaders Who Found Out the “Sheep” have “Teeth”: Let’s explore what it means to have healthy spirituality—the kind that functions to keep you “filled up,” and allows you to keep growing in compassion and wisdom, so you can offer your song to the world. This might mean examining your beliefs and stretching them to include all your experiences. I will help you become a scientist of your own spiritual beliefs, practices, and experiences. I hope our work will give you permission to do what works for you, and experience the full range of your emotions, including rage, despair, anger, guilt, shame, sadness, fear, joy, awe, safety and connection!

Modalities

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Builds openness, awareness, and engagement through functional analysis of behaviors, experiential skill-building, mindfulness and values-based action to help you move forward, even in the presence of pain.

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Evidence-based treatment for PTSD that helps you examine your worldview, look at what you have been telling. yourself about your traumatic experience, and challenge and modify unhelpful beliefs related to trauma.

  • Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Gradual, supported exposure to trauma memories and triggers that helps you examine your present experience, learn what is true now, and reduce avoidance and distress.

  • Unified Protocol: Transdiagnostic approach targeting emotional disorders (all diagnoses—anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, substance abuse—you name it!) by targeting judgement and fear of emotions, addressing escape and avoidance behaviors, and teaching adaptive emotion regulation skills.

  • Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps you understand and transform emotional responses, fostering healing and resilience.

  • Psychedelic Preparation and Integration: Guidance and support before and after psychedelic experiences to maximize insight and safety.

  • Biofeedback: Uses real-time physiological feedback to help you gain control over stress and emotional responses.

Fees: All Services (per hour): $250

Flexible Treatment Options

  • Weekly or Bi-Monthly Therapy: Traditional, ongoing support tailored to your needs. Psychotherapy is available via telehealth and “in the wild” at Mount Tabor.

  • Massed Treatment (Intensive, week-long PTSD and Moral Injury Treatments): Short-term, high-frequency therapy (2x daily sessions over a week) has been shown to yield rapid progress. Massed PE and CPT have been shown to be as effective as weekly CPT, with equivalent or better outcomes, higher completion rates, and no increased risk of symptom worsening (Wachen et al., 2024; Bryan et al., 2022; Szoke et al., 2025; Held et al., 2023; Galovski et al., 2022). If you want a big concentrated dose, let’s make a plan.

  • Wild Therapy: Options for intensives or curated “in the wild” experiences (e.g., bikepacking, surfing) available at a daily rate plus travel/lodging.
