I help clients navigate depression and trauma, especially around relationships and family. In our first sessions, we'll take time to understand your challenges and develop a personalized plan to help you move forward.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
