I work with professional women and women in STEM who are high-functioning on the outside and running on empty underneath. Deadlines, leadership demands, imposter syndrome, and chronic stress have a way of compounding — and a lot of my clients have spent years managing symptoms rather than actually resolving them. I use CBT and exposure-based approaches because they have the strongest evidence base and they produce results. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented. I'm not interested in open-ended exploration for its own sake — I want you to get somewhere. With over 25 years of experience and 17 years of licensure, including specialized training in health psychology, I work well with clients who are skeptical of therapy, time-pressed, and need an approach that respects their intelligence. I have availability for new clients and welcome Lyra Health members in WA, OR, and AZ. In-person sessions available in my Vancouver, WA office.
