I’m excited to share that I’ve added VR Exposure Therapy to my clinical offerings. This evidence-based approach uses immersive virtual environments to help clients safely confront fears, reduce anxiety, and build confidence — all within a supportive, guided framework.

It’s an innovative tool that can be used in cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients take meaningful steps toward lasting change. If you’d like to learn more about how VR therapy can support your clients or your own wellness goals, I’d love to connect.
