Life is challenging enough—navigating change shouldn’t feel impossible. My role is to collaborate with you to create practical, meaningful strategies that lead to sustainable change. Sometimes, our bodies or mental health conditions create distress in our lives. Other times, life’s challenges take a toll on our physical and mental well-being. How do we break free from this cycle? Well, we work on it. I specialize in working with individuals and families adjusting to chronic illness, facing difficulties with daily activities—such as eating, sleeping, toileting—or struggling to stay on track with their treatment/educational plans.
There are no prerequisites for who you are or what you bring—just a willingness to work toward a goal that matters to you. Change isn’t just about knowing what to do—it’s about finding realistic, personalized ways to make it work. But change can also be uncomfortable. Therapy isn’t casual conversation or simple advice—that’s ineffective therapy.
Instead, it’s a collaborative effort where we both commit to meaningful work that leads to real and measurable results. We will measure our changes over time in therapy, no matter the condition. When you’re ready, I’m honored to do this work with you.

For people with anxiety disorders, I use a treatment shown to work called Exposure with Response Prevention. This entails listing and prioritizing what makes you anxious (fear hierarchy), developing coping skills, and seeking opportunities on your fear hierarchy to use your skills (thus, exposure to fear with anxious response prevention).

Treatments shown to work are our vehicle to positive results. I deliver CBT, ACT, DBT, & MI slightly differently depending on the goal(s) and condition(s). For example, stress, insomnia, and chronic pain have different exercises, but ultimately, all three treatments focus on your thoughts (C-cognitive) and your words/acts (B-behavioral).
