I am committed to supporting adolescents and adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, work-related stress, and a wide range of life challenges. My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual’s needs.
Therapy is your journey, and my role is to walk alongside you — helping you build on your strengths, challenge self-limiting thoughts and behaviors, process painful emotions and experiences, and develop healthy, sustainable coping skills.I believe deeply in our capacity for resilience and growth, even in the midst of overwhelming emotions and difficult times
As Brené Brown writes, “Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” Together, we can approach the hard places with courage and compassion, and reconnect with the strengths and light that already exist within you.

My therapeutic approaches are client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as other evidence-based approaches. I often use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in my practice. With CBT, we will look at your core beliefs and thought patterns that affect your emotions, behaviors, and experiences. With careful guidance, you will learn how to reframe unhelpful thoughts and core beliefs.
