I emphasize a collaborative, person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, & holistic approach to therapy.
“I feel like I spend more time avoiding conflict than saying what I truly feel.” “I’m surviving instead of thriving." “I feel like difficult experiences in my past are holding me back.” “I’m under so much pressure, I can't take it anymore." It doesn't have to stay this way! I want to help you create balance, authenticity, and joy in your life.

Working from a trauma-informed lens, I use somatic techniques such as art therapy and mindfulness that allow us to be present with our emotions and physical sensations, alongside cognitive behavioral strategies that engage our conscious awareness.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, grief, or depression? Have you experienced trauma that leaves you feeling stuck? I work with teens and adults who find themselves using unhelpful patterns of coping with their trauma and emotions, often feel disconnected or scattered, and struggle to be present with others. Some may even experience physical or somatic symptoms of their trauma that feel outside of their control. My role is to help you gain insight into why you’re feeling this way and to guide you as you develop the skills you need to move forward. Healing is possible; there is hope for your life.

Using a strength-centric approach, I blend evidence-based cognitive-behavioral counseling with actionable coaching techniques.
You might be overwhelmed by the challenges associated with ADHD and Executive Functioning. Perhaps you're trying to overcome career or academic hurdles, better manage your time, or find a sense of order in your day-to-day life. You have goals and aspirations but struggle to follow through. You want to build consistent routines and achieve more. What might seem like challenges now are in fact, opportunities to grow. I understand that you're seeking a more satisfying life where you can fully harness and celebrate your unique way of learning and thinking. I'm here to help guide and support you in that journey.

I draw from various theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic, narrative, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
“I can’t stop worrying about everything.” “Everyone leaves me.” “I need to make a change, but I feel stuck.” “No one understands what I’m going through.” I see you, and I am so glad that you're here. Life doesn't stop for us, even amid our greatest struggles. The difficult seasons may feel all-encompassing—and I believe therapy should be a space where you can take the time you need to process, explore, grow, and heal. This is your time—I'm here to listen to your story and illuminate the strengths within as we work toward your unique goals.

My primary therapy methods derive from Cognitive Behavior principles, especially changing that pesky negative self-talk and altering behavior patterns that impede our progress, confidence, etc.
I approach a client's concerns from a here and now, rapid change perspective. I believe that when we take action to improve ourselves or our circumstances, our attitude and feelings follow suit. I have been in clinical practice for 20 years, and have worked with many types of people and almost every kind of problem. I strive to balance empathy and sensitivity with helping people to move forward in the change process.

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?
