I pull techniques from various modalities including Narrative and Collaborative therapies, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Experiential Therapies, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and will incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion principles in our work together.
Welcome! I am a Marriage & Family Therapy Associate who enjoys working with adolescents, adults, older adults, couples, and families of all backgrounds. My approach to therapy centers on the idea that we are all deeply influenced by the world around us. At times, those pressures can become consuming.

You feel stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, your relationships, or accurately reflect what you value in life. You're ready for a change and are here, wanting to take a step toward a life you envision for yourself.

I work with clients who are carrying some of the heaviest emotional burdens — trauma, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the daily stress of navigating life with a neurodiverse mind or family dynamic.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) are more often than not my go-to interventions in treating most situations and clients.
The ideal client for me is one that is open to connecting with a therapist who will be real with them; a client that is ready to do the work to improve their situation, and is open to hearing honest feedback. Clients that work with me will know that I am a very compassionate individual, who will assume positive intent in others. I will motivate and encourage you to become the best version of yourself! I can be very silly, and use humor to connect with my clients and build connections. While I am professional, I do not take myself too seriously. Clients should feel comfortable expressing themselves however they feel most comfortable.

Do you feel like you're stuck on autopilot, living anxious and overwhelmed? You may have built an outwardly successful life, but feel disconnected from your inner world.

I agree. Together, I can help you identify what matters most to you, break negative habits of thinking and being, and create a life you’re excited to live, more fully as yourself.

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.
