I work from a range of theoretical orientations, including behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and psychoanalytic frameworks.
My practice is comprised of individuals and couples. I see adults, adolescents, and children who are managing a range of issues from anxiety and depression, to relationship issues, to trauma. The couples I work with are often struggling with feeling disconnected and unheard by their partner and are seeking help to regain connection in their relationship that has been compromised or lost over time.

I have training in several evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Focused CBT, nature-based therapy, and ACT.
Mental health struggles can make it challenging for anyone to enjoy their life fully. It is my passion to support others in finding healing in whatever way that feels right and useful for them. I believe in creating a trustworthy, non-judgmental space for therapy, in which each client can show up as they are. I have extensive training and experience with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and I also have a lot of experience (clinical and personal) working with neurodiverse individuals, particularly with ADHD.

I work from a person centered approach and utilize cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
Life presents many challenges, and with busy schedules, people often forget to take care of themselves and attend to their needs. Lacking the necessary support to overcome these challenges can leave individuals feeling lost, depressed, anxious, angry, and stuck. It is important to recognize that everyone is worthy of happiness and deserves to feel fulfilled in their relationships.

My theoretical approach is based in cognitive/behaviorist therapy and extends into existentialist, solution focused, narrative, mindfulness, acceptance/commitment, and psychodynamic theories.
I use a variety of approaches ranging from cognitive reframing, exploration of defense mechanisms and automatic thoughts, training in mindfulness, bodily awareness, and examination of feelings, among others. I am interested in the ways in which we each determine our realities, what our minds say to us, and the insight that can be gained from examining those.

I also use CBT and IFS to address past trauma with informed care.
I believe we are all worthy of love, understanding, and belonging Although it can be one of life's biggest challenges to give and receive love in this way. It is my honor, to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive space where clients can feel seen and heard within their own unique circumstances. We will explore negative core beliefs and the negative thoughts and emotions accompanying them. As well as challenge protective habits that are no longer effective or helpful. I treasure working with couples and individuals as they reclaim themselves, find clarity, and gain more meaning in their lives & their relationships.

With individual clients, my work is informed by Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, the Emotional Freedom Technique, Existential, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy modalities.
I work with individuals ages 18 and up. I see symptoms as a request from the psyche to grow -- whether this manifests as depression, anxiety, or just a feeling that you want more from your life or your relationships. Or you may be experiencing a transition, grief, or loss and need support to navigate this change. Therapy creates a space in which healing and growth can happen. I believe humans have a natural, inherent tendency toward health and self-actualization. We are hard-wired to live good and meaningful lives, but sometimes need support to do so.

I employ a variety of theoretical orientations and modalities, from attachment theories, family systems, object relations, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play and art therapy. Theory gives us a foundation to conceptualize, but it is the individual, context, and culture which inform our work.

I draw on cognitive restructuring, EMDR (including intensives), nature based parts work (akin to internal family systems), psychodrama, mindfulness based interventions, and a systemic oppression analysis.
I am inspired by our ability to withstand and get through tremendous pain. Yet, in a cultural system that perpetuates trauma and oppression, it can be difficult to embody the sense of whole-ness that we desire. I want to walk alongside you in reclamation of your resiliency and vibrancy, finding your most alive self. Whether you are dealing with mental health issues related to trauma, oppression, isolation, relationships, impulsivity, grief, or other life pains; I want to center what matters to you, hold what you have to say with compassion, and help you rediscover a fullness in being alive and in your body.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
