I believe counseling is a creative, collaborative process designed to promote growth and change. As a therapist, I act as guide and support to my clients in their pursuits of integration, growth, and transformation. I work with compassion, intention, and integrity. I support my clients to have the courage to be vulnerable, to recognize and utilize their strengths in service to their goals, and to develop skills to better manage the challenges they face. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, grief and loss, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, parent/child conflicts, and family difficulties.

I am passionate about being able to provide a mix of traditional and art therapy therapeutic components.

The way we feel about a situation “colors” our thoughts and perceptions. As an art therapist, I strive to help others add different "colors" to their situation.

I utilize a variety of modalities including Child-Centered Play Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT).
We initially learn about relationships with others from our caregivers. In this way, positive parenting techniques as well as cyclic trauma can be generational. One thing that I have found to be true through my experiences working with children and families in various settings is that parents want their children to feel loved, seen, and valued. Caregivers are the experts on their children, and in partnering with them, I aim to provide an environment that encourages multi-generational healing, compassionate reflection, self-embodiment, and authentic connection to others.

My therapeutic method often involves using Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Solution- Focus and Motivation Interviewing.
Life is full of struggles and surprises, and we often feel trapped and have no hope. It is common to have negative thoughts and beliefs, to experience lack of motivation and burn out when we try to move through our life. Struggling with your thoughts and feelings can really affect your daily life. “It is okay to not feel okay!” Emotions and thoughts are two very complicated things and a lot of the time they tangle together. With patience, empathy, authenticity, and wanting to discover depth with the client, people can see more clearly from their past and have a goal for the future.

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.
