I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT-I for insomnia, Mindfulness coaching, and Self-Compassion training.
Openings for two new clients in April '25. My aim is to help you address problematic ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that contribute to greater anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia/sleep issues. The goal is to assist you in reaching a position of appreciation for your genuine self (for you are the perfect you!) and an acceptance of the events that occur in your life. I would be honored to take part in your journey of discovering the narratives which potentially distort reality and lead to discomfort, diminished self-worth, or other barriers to attaining contentment.
