Anxiety and High-Performance Stress
Common Reasons People Seek Therapy in Bryn Mawr
ADHD in Adults
Many high-achieving individuals have undiagnosed or undertreated ADHD. The exhaustion of constantly compensating for attention and executive function challenges can be overwhelming.
Trauma and PTSD
In Bryn Mawr, excellence is the baseline. Many residents—students, alumnae, and professionals—experience chronic anxiety, perfectionism, and the constant pressure to perform at the highest level. Even highly accomplished people often feel like they're not doing enough.
OCD often goes unrecognized in high-functioning people. Many Bryn Mawr residents experience intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors but hide them because they seem unrelated to their successful outward appearance.
Trauma doesn't discriminate by socioeconomic status or achievement level. Many Bryn Mawr residents carry the weight of past experiences—childhood trauma, loss, assault, or accidents—often without realizing how much it affects their present life.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Our Therapeutic Approaches
CBT helps you identify and reframe the negative thought patterns that drive anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behaviors. It's practical, evidence-based, and highly effective for many mental health challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. Through gradual, supported exposure to feared situations, ERP reduces the power of obsessions and compulsions over time.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
DBT teaches practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It's particularly helpful for intense emotional experiences and relationship challenges
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
EMDR is a powerful therapy for trauma and PTSD. It helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or controlling.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

I start by finding out
what I'm treating.
Diagnostic Assessment First
Comprehensive evaluation that builds the clinical picture no one has built for you yet — OCD spectrum, ADHD-anxiety overlap, hormonal contributors, trauma patterns, and what previous treatment missed and why.
The reason previous treatment didn't hold is almost never about effort or motivation. Anxiety is a symptom. The question is what's generating it — and that answer is almost always more specific, and more solvable, than "stress." I use full psychological assessment to identify what others missed.
Precision Treatment Plan
Evidence-based interventions chosen because they fit your specific presentation — ERP, ACT, CPT, EMDR. Not a generic protocol. A plan built around your actual diagnosis and your actual life.
Clinical Direction
I'll identify what's actually driving your anxiety, why previous treatment hasn't held, and exactly what to do about it
