You’re a high-achieving professional who seems to have it all together, but inside, you’re struggling to keep up with the demands of your life. You juggle a demanding career, while raising children, and caring for aging parents. You constantly worry, your sleep is restless, and overwhelm feels like your middle name. The chronic fatigue, irritability, and feelings of inadequacy are constant. Your relationships are strained because you’re not showing up as your best self, and despite your outward success, you often feel stuck, unfulfilled, and like you're failing the people who matter most.

All people need to feel safe, connected and capable. When something interferes with our ability to get these needs met in a healthy way, we develop alternative solutions or avoidance strategies that may help in the short-term but cause harm in the long run. I provide a safe space for people to explore and process difficult experiences and the self-defeating beliefs and over-adaptive behaviors that may have developed in response. I have a genuine interest in others and bring warmth, authenticity, and a non-judgmental presence to sessions to help you get unstuck and to walk with you on your journey of healing and transformation.

Are you anxious and stressed? Do you fear disapproval and avoid confrontation? I get it! I facilitate change by first identifying the fixed thoughts and assumptions that interfere with fulfillment. Does your relationship/marriage need tools to navigate disagreements? Childhood experiences powerfully impact our self-statements, so you won't leave our sessions without exploring your youth - - who loved you, who didn't, and how you now cope and react. Couples therapy sessions will also provide this same in-depth approach with an emphasis on communication strategies. I am also trauma-informed and treat C-PTSD clients.

Being human comes with its challenges! Our brains and the thoughts they generate don't come with an instruction manual, making it tough to navigate. Often, our lack of understanding about what's going on within us creates the suffering we seek to escape.

Schema Therapy
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognizing and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
