I recognize that seeking therapy can be difficult, so I hope to make your experience one that is collaborative and empowering. I work from a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective. I strive to create an inclusive therapeutic environment so that you feel supported and fulfilled. I use a variety of treatment modalities such as CBT, CT-R, IFS, and Hypnotherapy to help clients succeed. I’m passionate about helping you connect with your strengths and values. My approach is holistic: I see you as a whole person, not a diagnosis. Whether you’re processing past trauma, managing OCD, healing from relationship wounds, or seeking greater self-confidence, I integrate evidence-based strategies with a caring, nonjudgmental presence to help you create lasting change.
Clients often share that they feel genuinely seen and understood in our work together. I create a safe, collaborative space where you can explore patterns, release shame, and build insight at your own pace. Over time, many clients experience reduced anxiety, improved self-esteem, greater emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of purpose and connection.
What sets my work apart is how I combine deep clinical expertise with a warm, collaborative style that meets you exactly where you are. My training spans cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused approaches, and advanced hypnotherapy, allowing me to draw from a wide range of tools to create a treatment plan tailored just for you.
If you’re reading this, you might be feeling exhausted from trying to hold it all together. Maybe you’ve spent years carrying anxiety, shame, or self-doubt. You might be stuck in cycles of overthinking, old trauma, or patterns you can’t seem to break—even though you’ve tried so hard to change. I want you to know you don’t have to figure this out alone.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck or distressed, and we practice more balanced, helpful ways of thinking and responding. CBT is practical and collaborative, giving you tools you can start applying in everyday life.
When working with OCD, I use exposure and response prevention, a specialized form of CBT. This means we gradually and safely face the thoughts, images, or situations that trigger anxiety, while practicing resisting the rituals or compulsions that usually follow. Over time, this helps reduce the power of obsessions and supports you in building confidence and freedom from OCD.
With trauma-focused CBT, I help you process and make sense of past traumatic experiences in a safe, structured way. We work to reduce distressing memories and beliefs while building coping skills, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of safety. The approach is paced according to your readiness and combines education, skill-building, and gentle trauma processing.
In hypnotherapy, I guide you into a deeply relaxed, focused state where your mind is more open to positive suggestions and insight. This can help you access inner strengths, shift unhelpful patterns, and process emotions in a calm, supportive way. Hypnosis is always collaborative—you remain aware and in control, and we tailor each session to your specific goals.
