I am dedicated to helping adults dampen anxiety, women thrive through peri- and post-partum challenges, and men recover from past traumas impacting their current relationships. I use mind/body integrated approaches to generate lasting change in your overall well-being. My therapy style is direct, solution-oriented, and humorous. I tailor my therapeutic interventions - used both in session and as homework - to your individual needs and treatment goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
At your intake session, I will ask any clarifying questions from my review of your intake packet, elicit a list of your strengths and what's currently working for you, discuss what attempts at change haven't worked for you, and start to explore which coping skills are best suited for you to start with as you begin your therapy journey of exploration.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strengths as a psychotherapy clinician lie in my ability to acknowledge and validate your emotions, experiences, and perspectives. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel truly heard and understood. Through effective communication, I work to build trust and establish strong therapeutic relationships. My deep understanding of various therapeutic approaches and psychological theories enables me to develop effective, tailored treatment strategies. I am committed to providing culturally appropriate and inclusive care by respecting and appreciating your background, beliefs, and values. I prioritize professional growth by staying aware of my personal biases and limitations, practicing self-care, and maintaining ethical boundaries. My ability to analyze client situations, identify patterns, and develop actionable strategies is complemented by my flexibility in adapting therapeutic approaches to meet your unique and evolving needs. I approach my work with genuine curiosity about your experiences, which helps foster deeper engagement and insight. By instilling hope and optimism, while also acknowledging challenges, I aim to support you in building resilience and achieving personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a cornerstone of my professional practice, allowing me to address a variety of psychological challenges with evidence-based strategies. My experience with CBT spans 16 years, during which I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My journey with CBT began with my graduate school education, where I developed a foundational understanding of its principles and techniques. Over the years, I have honed my skills through continued education, supervision, and practical application. In my practice, I employ CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and achieve their treatment goals. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual's needs. For example, I guide clients through exercises such as cognitive restructuring to reframe negative beliefs, behavioral experiments to test and modify assumptions, and mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness. One of the key strengths of CBT is its adaptability. I have successfully integrated CBT principles into short-term interventions for clients seeking immediate relief and long-term treatment plans for those addressing complex issues. Additionally, I often combine CBT with complementary approaches, such as mindfulness-based strategies or solution-focused techniques, to provide a holistic treatment experience. I find that the structured yet flexible nature of CBT allows for significant, measurable progress. Overall, my experience with CBT has reinforced my belief in its efficacy and versatility. It continues to be an integral part of my therapeutic toolkit, enabling me to empower clients to take control of their mental health and thrive.
