About me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 plus years of experience helping individuals and families facing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, crisis situations, and serious mental illness. I provide a safe, supportive space to build resilience, develop coping skills, foster self-compassion, and create lasting change. I will take time to understand your experiences, strengths, and challenges while creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for you to share at your own pace. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), we'll begin identifying patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Together, we'll identify areas of focus and discuss a treatment approach tailored to your needs. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach to therapy is authentic, personable, and client-centered. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change, so I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely understood. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) when they are the best fit. With compassion, collaboration, and practical support, I help clients build on their strengths, overcome challenges, and reach their personal goals for healing and growth.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My therapeutic style is structured, empathetic, and collaborative, guiding clients through a series of sessions that help them identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to their trauma. I use evidence-based techniques to help clients reframe distorted thoughts, reduce avoidance behaviors, and regain a sense of control and safety.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Conduct structured sessions with homework assignments (like thought records). Use worksheets and guided questioning to help clients reframe beliefs. Address five key domains: safety, trust, power/control, esteem, and intimacy. Encourage writing exercises to process trauma narratives and beliefs CPT is highly collaborative and focuses on empowering clients to become their own cognitive therapists over time.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Begin with psychoeducation about the CBT model. Use structured sessions with clear goals. Apply thought records and behavioral experiments to test beliefs. Incorporate exposure techniques for anxiety disorders. Track progress using symptom measures (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7). CBT is widely applied for depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, and more.
