My goal is to connect with you in an authentic way, walking alongside you as you find your path forward and make sense of where you've been. Together, we will build a deeper understanding of who you are and strengthen your relationship with yourself. I'm passionate about working with teens (16+), young adults, college students, and adults who feel stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected from themselves. I have a special interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals and those exploring neurodivergence, while welcoming anyone looking to better understand themselves, relationships, and challenge unhelpful narratives they've carried.

I integrate CBT, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approaches to help you understand triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical tools you can use in your daily life.

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions who are ready to better understand their experiences and develop healthier ways to cope and move forward.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, humanistic, and relational, incorporating ACT, CBT, and DBT.
Dealing with life events can be stressful for anyone. But there are further difficulties when it comes to neurodiversity, anxiety disorders, and being part of the LGBTQIA+ communities. In this day and age, life can be even more trying as part of a marginalized community. I enjoy helping people work through their life struggles, explore techniques for better executive functioning, and explore ways to manage stressors. While I can work with a wide range of ages, I particularly enjoy helping support children, adolescents, and young adults in their development.

No two people experience life the same way, so therapy shouldn’t feel like one-size-fits-all. I approach my work from a person-centered, collaborative lens, honoring your story, your pace, and what feeling “grounded” truly means to you. I’ve worked extensively with individuals navigating a wide range of mental health and intellectual challenges, and I integrate practical, skills-based tools to help you build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and sustainable coping strategies.

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.
