My approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy ( CBT) and positive psychology in treating symptoms of anxiety and depression, while tailoring therapy to each individual's needs and goals.
Seeking counseling and mental health support is a bold step in a person's healing and growth experience. Psychotherapy helps people get to where they want to be mentally, interpersonally, and emotionally - and I have had the privilege of supporting clients in achieving their personal goals for over 13 years. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor, and Clinical Supervisor providing psychotherapy and counseling services to adults, families, and couples.

I also rely on theoretical modalities like CBT and DBT to provide clients with tools to use in their daily lives that help to maintain progress toward desired change.
One of the greatest offerings of therapy is the opportunity for change. I work both with clients who are wanting change and those who have been thrust into change without asking for it. Clients facing complex trauma & PTSD, grief, life transitions, and other big hurdles can find balance and restoration in their work with me. I help clients to reconstruct their relationships with trauma, loss, anxiety, and with the other people in their lives.

I use a holistic approach, including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and somatic techniques, to provide a foundation for introspection and self-discovery without judgment.
Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your day-to-day life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming? Are you experiencing low self-esteem that impacts your relationships and ability to function at work? People are feeling anxious, uncertain, and guilty about overcoming the constant pressures of daily life while striving to find their true selves and embrace their self-worth. Stress, anxiety, and the effects of trauma can impact every area of our lives, whether it's engaging in daily routines, coping with emotions, or addressing communication breakdowns with our loved ones. Therapy can provide a space where it feels bearable.

I incorporate tenets of CBT and psychodynamic therapy in my work.
I thoroughly enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. As a licensed psychologist having worked at different settings and with different age groups, I appreciate the nuance that each person brings to the therapy room. I work collaboratively with clients to figure out the solutions that will best meet each individual’s specific needs. For some, that can mean implementing certain strategies and solutions, while others might require a closer look at one’s identity and close relationships to determine a good path forward. I do my best to ensure that you feel valued, understood, and respected.

Our work will blend trauma-informed protocols with psychotherapy, IFS, CBT, attachment theory, somatic techniques, and the Polyvagal Safe and Sound Protocol.
Many women are stuck in a toxic relationship that has led to a life of confusion, fear, and in many cases, emotional and physical collapse. These women often experience a constant state of high stress and anxiety over their circumstances. This stress can lead to physical ailments that are hard to diagnose and treat, like chronic fatigue, migraines, or pain. They may wonder how things became so dire. This is not the life they wanted or chose for themselves. If this sounds familiar to you, you may be in an abusive relationship, even if there is no physical abuse. There is hope, and there is a path for you to heal.

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.
