I specialize in working with kids (8+), teens, and adults, using a combination of CBT, REBT, Narrative Therapy, IFS/parts work, Schema Therapy, Play Therapy, and Art Therapy in my work with clients.
When a person is struggling, I look at the big picture, not just "problems" or "symptoms." Through a strengths-based perspective, I try to see how the problem areas came to be, formulate a plan to address concerns, and actively teach skills to foster change. Through this lens, I have successfully worked with kids (as young as 5), teens, and young adults to address depression, anxiety, self-harm, OCD, ADHD, and other behavioral and emotional disturbances.

Have you been feeling more stuck lately? Feeling like you have an idea of where you should be, but finding yourself repeating a lot of the same tried and true patterns and change feels more than difficult? Has this, or any other variety of stressors you are under been making you feel as if you are not enough, or do you have a history of relationships that has been adding to a concept of self that doesn't seem like it's growing you? I love work in helping others feel the most like themselves - whether that is a version of themselves they have not met yet, or have not been in touch with for quite some time.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.

Life can be both beautiful & messy. I'm humbled & honored to help you sort through it! We each uniquely form our conscious & subconscious schemas and belief systems about ourselves, others, and the world at large since our earliest stages in life. No two people have the same experience, and there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" treatment modality. Yet we can also feel validated & gain from others' shared experiences, perspectives, and support. One thing all humans universally experience is the capacity for love, joy, pain, and everything else in between. You are not alone!

How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognizing and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
