I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective, evidence-based approach for treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and a variety of other issues that affect quality of life. With this practical approach to therapy, we will work together to identify negative thought patterns, challenge cognitive distortions, and build sustainable behavioral changes. I’m excited to help you unlock your potential and create long lasting positive change.
I also like to incorporate lighthearted humor into my practice. It helps to re-frame negative thoughts, reduce anxiety and tension, lighten heavy moments, ease defenses, and enhance resilience. All of this makes the therapeutic process feel more relatable without ever minimizing serious concerns.
You don’t have to face these difficult issues alone. Along with CBT’s proven techniques, a warm empathetic space, and a supportive atmosphere, I’m here to support your growth and foster lasting change. Take the first step toward feeling more like yourself again and reach out today. I look forward to walking this path with you.

I work with clients struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and unforeseen life events. During our sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.
