I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) with advanced training in working with individuals who have experienced pregnancy and postpartum challenges, as well as those impacted by birth trauma.
In my practice, I value the importance of creating a warm and welcoming space in order to develop a therapeutic relationship with the clients that I work with built on trust, safety, and compassion. I believe that getting to know yourself takes courage and strength, which provides an opportunity for healing and growth. I have a passion for and specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma, as well as perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum) mental health.

I utilize narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and am DBT informed.
Life is an adventure. Sometimes there are high mountains to climb, rough waters swim, or dragons to tame, but you don’t have to face them alone. I’m here because I know what it’s like to feel like you’re drowning. My goal as a therapist is to provide a place where people can step out of the storm and breathe. Working with teens and adults, I use trauma-informed and a harm reduction framework, at a client led pace. This means I will not expect you to “dive right in” and share your deepest fears or darkest secrets minutes after meeting me. There’s no pressure here. Whatever your focus is, that is where we will start.

I use a lot of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness practices.
If you struggle with anxiety, depression grief, and other difficulties, I can help you. Some people want help with identifying and working on goals, some people want to learn coping skills, some people just need to vent to someone, and some people need someone else to just compassionately listen. I love to help with all of those. I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach to meet people where they are at and help them get to where they want to be. I strive to be open-minded and attentive, and helping people is what I am meant to do.

I am eclectic in practice but am grounded in methods like CBT, DBT (standard and radically open), EMDR, pain reprocessing therapy (PRT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and IFS informed therapy.
Welcome! Seeking therapy is a wise and adaptive choice that can help you build connection with self and others by enhancing your capacity to face stressful situations, the past, and relationships. Sometimes personal patterns can make it difficult to share and live life in a way that is meaningful and honors your values. In my practice, therapy is a collaborative partnership that helps identify stuck points, builds resilience in the face of adversity, and develops strategies to pursue the life you deserve. The process will guide you to better understand the deeper aspects of yourself.

Many individuals feel overwhelmed by the strain of life, miscommunication, and the injuries from old emotional wounds. Learn the skills to strengthen your relationships and build new ones. We are wired to connect. However, we may need to improve our skill set to communicate our priorities and values and better regulate ourselves during intense conversations. Miscommunication often leads to a lack of meaningful connection, feelings of stagnation, and limited growth opportunities, which can leave you feeling alone. I work with both individuals and couples.

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.
