It is my passion to help those struggling with a traumatic past utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and Eye Movement Integration(R).
Depression, anxiety, or trauma can stop you from enjoying your day-to-day life! It is not easy dealing with all the thoughts and emotions that are always stirred up. My hope is that together we can work to find balance and peace in your life. We cannot change the past but we can change how we think, cope and manage it today! Many struggle alone unable to truly move forward and find that freedom of internal happiness. Give me a call and together we can find your happy place!

While I do draw from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy, I also understand that the therapeutic process is as unique as the individual it serves, and that there is no “one size fits all" in therapy.
As a therapist , I have passion and experience in serving patients struggling with disordered eating, body image concerns and anxiety. I offer evening and weekend appointments to make therapy available to everyone. Making the choice to engage in counseling is one of the most courageous and empowering decisions one can make to change their life. I am inspired by the bravery of my patients and motivated to provide support for patients who are dedicated to their own personal growth. I love to make connections with my patients, while creating a safe space for individuals to feel comfortable and welcomed to express themselves.

I use a blend of trauma-informed modalities, including CBT, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy, to help clients navigate their experiences.
I love working with clients who have experienced trauma—whether it’s big t or little t—who are ready to process those events and reclaim control over their lives. It’s empowering to acknowledge the challenges we’ve faced and to leverage the skills we’ve gained from those experiences. While I have a background of working with first responders, I’m open to, and enjoy, working with adults (18+) of various backgrounds who are looking for a supportive partner in their mental wellness journey.

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.
