My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Mindful Self-Compassion.
Living with anxiety can feel overwhelming. When you experience frequent worry, rumination, or feel on edge most of the time, avoidance can seem like the easiest way to cope. While it may help in the short term, it can also close you off from what is important and make your life feel smaller. In therapy, we focus on helping you respond differently to anxiety so you can move toward what matters most. I work with clients experiencing anxiety in everyday life (related to relationships, work stress, or life transitions) as well as anxiety stemming from specific concerns such as panic attacks, OCD, or phobias like driving and flying.

You have built a successful life, but inside you feel exhausted, disconnected, and quietly empty. Your marriage feels strained or distant, parenting feels heavy with guilt and pressure, or you are navigating divorce and questioning everything you thought was stable. You function well on the outside while feeling anxious, lonely, or spiritually disconnected on the inside. You want peace, clarity, and deeper connection. You want to stop white-knuckling through life and begin living with intention, meaning, and emotional honesty.

Have you noticed lately that you’ve been triggered more easily? Maybe you’ve been easily agitated (fight), experiencing heightened anxiety (flight), or have been mentally “shutting down” (freeze) more than usual. You could be experiencing trauma responses due to unprocessed distressing events from your past.
As a Christian there is nothing more frustrating than struggling with your mental health and feeling like there is not a resource available that integrates both professional mental health services and your Christian faith. Let me debunk a common myth: Struggling with your mental health does not mean you are lacking in faith.

I have been providing individual therapy services specific to the LGBTQ+ community since December 2020. I am a person-centered, relational therapist who is warm. I honor my clients as the experts of their lives and enjoy forming a collaboration with the people I work with. I enjoy elements of psychoanalysis, especially if the outcome is greater acceptance and care for self. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help rewrite stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, as well as how we show up in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
