I provide therapy to clients residing in Texas and have served clients of all ages for several years, specifically for anxiety, trauma, insomnia, OCD, grief, depression, and challenges faced in relationships (i.e. I have done this through individual therapy, couples therapy, marriage counseling, family therapy, and play therapy. My training and experience includes utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), Play Therapy, and Sandtray Therapy. My background is in psychology research (I co-authored two research articles published in scientific journals, one on anxiety sensitivity and caffeine, the other on mental health effects of COVID), I presented anxiety and caffeine research in Denver, CO at the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) Conference, and have studied philosophy extensively in college and on my own (particularly in the fields of consciousness, existentialism, and ethics). I occasionally peer review psychology manuscripts in my spare time, partly to keep my mind sharp and partly to continue building a healthy practice of skepticism. I have also administered psychological tests for intelligence, ADHD, autism, and personality. My experience also includes years of su***de risk assessment and safety planning. Some more personal things about me are that I am constantly seeking learning through research, reading, and various forms of study in topics ranging from quantum physics to philosophy. I love finding out more things about the world and about the second most important thing I love doing, is watching movies. I love digging deep into movies no one has ever heard of, to explore the unknown.
