Hello, There is hidden potential for greatness in all persons. Often when you have thoughts or feelings that are causing problems for you, it is easy to think something is wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you. You are perfect, it is that part of your mind that needs to be fixed and I would love to help you do that. I truly love helping families be strong units. There are no "bad children," only bad behavior. In both children and adults, bad behavior often comes from unmet needs and fears. With children, it could also come from undiagnosed learning disabilities. Let's figure this out together.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (also known as CBT), Psychoanalytic, Grief Therapy, Trauma Based and Solution Focused Therapy.
I am passionate about working with clients experiencing or healing from Narcissistic Abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, high conflict divorce, coparenting, self esteem, and grief. I focus on helping clients who have experienced narcissistic abuse in relationships, marriage, by parents, coworkers and adult children. Therapy can feel daunting but also offers hope when you are ready to go through the healing journey. I collaborate with my clients to explore strategies to alleviate emotional pain, remove distressing symptoms, set boundaries, improve self esteem and foster self-awareness. Validation is essential.

I am currently accepting new clients. I work with a diverse population of adults and young adults. We all experience major life transitions and can use support during stressful times. Some of us have also been traumatized by events/situations in our lives yet, we may not recognize the negative impact it’s having on our relationships and overall well being. Many of us simply go into auto pilot, fight or flight mode, become overwhelmed and struggle to cope.

Specialties: Anxiety, ACT, ADHD, Career Coaching, Codependence, CBT, CBT for Chronic Pain, DBT, Empowered Relief, Disordered Eating, Domestic Violence/Gender-Based Violence, Family Reunification, Grief/Loss, LGBTQIA+, Asylum/Immigration, Meditation/Mindfulness, Holistic Health/Lifestyle Medicine, Trauma, TRD, PTSD, Work/Life Balance, Weight Management, Yoga
Your symptoms didn’t come out of nowhere—they developed in response to what you’ve lived through. Adaptations. Chronic pain, chronic illness, grief, depression, exhaustion—after years of stress, loss, displacement, or having to be strong for too long. Some of the people I work with are navigating an invisible weight of cultural rupture & survival. Others live in bodies that hurt, are uncooperative & feel unfamiliar due to illness or trauma & systems that didn’t recognize their needs. You may be told: “Nothing is wrong” — yet the pain persists. “Just manage stress” — without guidance. “Try harder” — despite being depleted.

As an AuDHD clinician, my ideal clients are probably just me prior to getting my MSW: I wanted a clinician who had the lived experience of being neurodivergent and understood adolescent and adult mental health. I wanted a clinician who was well versed in autism but didn't have toys in their waiting room (i.e., they only see children). I wanted someone who understood that being able to articulate feelings is difficult and that unconventional tools like yoga, poetry, video games, and crafts can be more effective than a feelings wheel. I became the clinician I was always searching for and hope I can be that clinician to others.

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.
