When people reach out for therapy, it’s rarely because life is simple. It’s because something matters deeply such as a relationship, a marriage, their peace of mind, their child, or their own sense of self and what they’ve been trying isn’t working anymore. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, and couples who feel stuck in painful patterns. My approach is active, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you not only understand what’s happening beneath the surface, but to develop concrete skills that create meaningful, lasting change.
Therapy with me is not passive. I ask thoughtful questions, provide direct feedback, and help you identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Because I work with private-pay clients, our work is guided by your priorities, not insurance limitations. This allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and a deeper focus on real change.
Reaching out is simply the first step. Our initial conversation is an opportunity to see if we’re the right fit. If you’re ready for thoughtful guidance, practical skills, and a therapist who will both support and challenge you, I would be honored to work with you.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and life transitions. Using CBT, we identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and build practical skills for change. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Clients can expect improved coping, clearer communication, reduced reactivity, and meaningful, lasting progress.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while thoughtfully integrating other therapeutic approaches as needed. In our first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy, begin building rapport, and develop a plan for future sessions. During treatment, you will learn how your thoughts influence your emotions, develop healthier thought patterns, and work toward meaningful personal growth.
