I am a person-centered cognitive behavior therapist, and by helping you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and choices are connected, I can help you find balance and calm.
You may have heard "the only person who can make you happy is you," but it's also true that you do not exist alone in this world. I strongly believe every person deserves to feel seen and heard and that this is essential for health. At the same time, understanding how you arrive at a feeling by tracking your inner thoughts and exploring past experiences will help you feel more in control. Instead of blaming others for your feelings or waiting for someone to rescue you from them, I want to empower you to be your own best emotional guide and healer. I offer a listening ear and safe space for exploration.

Too many people don’t have the space they need to feel and heal. This can be true whether you’re the one struggling or you have somebody in your life who is.

Living your life with anxiety, depression, anger, or unprocessed trauma, not only can delay your accomplishments, but also prevent you from living a full and happy life. Specializing in anxiety and depression, I draw from several different therapeutic approaches, such as CBT and DBT to help you gain back control of your life and work through whatever roadblocks are holding you back. I believe nothing is unobtainable if you have the right support.

My ideal client is trying to understand not only the root causes that created a less than optimal life functioning emotionally, socially, occupationally, academically, or intrafamilially, but the actual cognitive behavioral steps to remedy the problem. I believe most problems we encounter in our everyday lives can be improved upon and transformed into a life we have chosen.
