My areas of specialty include mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, grief, family relationships, and spirituality.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change negative thought patterns to improve their mood and quality of life. I have utilized CBT with a variety of populations in treating a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
