Welcome to a unique therapeutic journey. I offer a therapy space rooted in deep presence, honesty, and slowing down. Many of the folks I work with have found safety in thinking their way through emotions, pulling away when life feels too intense, or searching for answers outside of themselves. In our sessions, we move at the pace your nervous system can tolerate by bringing awareness to what you feel in your body, what emotions surface, and what shows up in the therapeutic relationship in real time. Rather than rushing towards solutions or insight, we create safety to remain when the urge to run and disconnect appears.

You’re trying so hard to keep it together, but it still feels like you’re one unexpected moment away from being totally overwhelmed. The kind that doesn’t pass quickly—it lingers, drains you, and makes it hard to feel like yourself again. Or maybe you’re a parent, trapped in constant mental gymnastics: “Is this normal?” “How do I help without making it worse?” You’re carrying all of it while making dinner, answering emails, and acting like you’re fine. It’s a lot and you’ve been doing your best. I see you, and you don’t have to do this alone anymore. Together we can trade “white-knuckling” it for real change that actually lasts.

My ideal client is carrying wounds that have quietly shaped how they experience their body, intimacy, and relationships. They may have never spoken these things out loud. They often feel broken, disconnected, or like something is "wrong" with them.

Are you someone who is often described as a survivor? You’ve figured out how to adapt and get through hard situations, but you’re feeling drained or lacking a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life. Maybe you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving.
Sometimes the things we do to “survive” or “get through” can keep us stuck in patterns that prevent us from reaching our goals or finding meaning and happiness. You might find yourself stuck in patterns of post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, depression, anxiety, unhealthy relationships, stress, unresolved grief, or an eating disorder.

It is frustrating to feel stuck. It is painful to feel alone and misunderstood, even if you are in a committed relationship. It is exhausting to fight your own thoughts. The questions that you are asking yourself right now show that you have the strength needed to heal and to grow.

My mentor says, "Therapy is designed to make you healthy, not happy in the moment," and that has become my philosophy in practice. Therapy in it of itself is an act of bravery as it demands flexibility and challenges you to explore increasing self-awareness. It is my goal to provide support for acceptance of where you are and support towards where you want to be. My clients tend to be motivated, engaged, and active participants in a collaborative process to achieve their therapeutic goals.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
