Sometimes we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, afraid, desperate, or alone. Maybe your relationships are spiraling, or you never feel good enough. Perhaps you are unfulfilled at work or procrastination is sabotaging you. Your distress from anxiety, depression, or grief may have reached a new level and you can’t cope. I’m a therapist, but I’m human too, I’ve been there. Everybody needs a helping hand sometimes. I’m ready to be that person for you! I’ll help you get back on track. With 18 years of experience and expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am dedicated to helping clients lead healthier, more productive lives!
Taking the first step to feeling better will be easier than you imagine. In a judgment-free zone, we'll collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan integrating CBT and other approaches to address your needs. You will leave sessions with tools and strategies that you can apply right away so you can get relief. It's absolutely possible to get unstuck!
Take the first step! Reach out to me at any time. To help me prepare for our initial contact, please include your name, a brief note about what you would like to focus on in therapy, your phone number, and the best times to reach you. I will contact you for a brief, complimentary consultation to discuss how we can work together.

I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs. CBT, DBT, and ACT help reframe thoughts, while ERP supports anxiety and OCD treatment. Trauma-focused, attachment-based, and psychodynamic therapy explore past relationships and trauma. Emotionally focused, mindfulness, and humanistic approaches build self-awareness, while SFBT and integrative methods promote meaningful, lasting change.
