I specialize in treating trauma/grief and loss using both cognitive and body-based modalities.
I came into the therapy profession as a second career. I hold a PhD in musicology and spent my earlier years working as a musician and music teacher/professor. I find that many of the same skills I used in music/teaching also apply to therapy. Each individual's goals and path toward healing and growing are unique, and I see my job as being a guide on that path. I believe clients already have the answers inside, and our work together is to uncover the truth that lives within. I lean heavily on understanding family systems and historical patterns that shaped who we are as we work together to decide who we can become.

I help adults heal from the impact of past relationships—whether that means childhood trauma, betrayal, or the lingering effects of disconnection. My clients often come to me feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, or difficulty maintaining close relationships, even when they deeply want change.
My approach begins with understanding the nervous system and how past experiences can keep it on high alert. Using tools like Brainspotting, neurofeedback, and emotional regulation skills, we work to calm the body and build a stronger foundation for healing.

Do you find yourself wondering why you feel a certain way, why you behave the way you do, or why you have difficulties in your relationships? A lot of us have open wounds or negative beliefs about ourselves that cause problems- for example showing up in the form of depression, anxiety, panic, self-doubt, or relationship issues. As a human, I know how much it sucks to feel stuck, alone, or like no one understands. As a therapist, I will hold space for you to explore, learn, and heal from these wounds. You will be able to move forward in life with new understanding and the ability to navigate your emotions.

You’re exhausted—mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Your thoughts spiral. Your emotions feel too big. You’re questioning your faith—or struggling with your kids, your partner, your job. You lie awake, second-guessing everything. You feel stuck, alone, and emotionally worn down. You’re at the end of your rope, unsure how to move forward. Therapy can help you get clarity and feel better about your life. You need someone who “gets it” to help heal what hurts and lead you to more calm, confidence, and peace of mind. I help figure out why you’re stuck, get out of the overwhelm, and into a healthier version of you.

You can make the change you want. And I can help. I can assist you in transforming negative and destructive thoughts and behavior into more helpful and compassionate responses. I start with assessing your particular patterns that are self-defeating to what you would like to change in your life. Then I design a program to help you change these behaviors and cope with your existing situation. This mindfulness-based therapy emphasizes working together to help you with depression, anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, and chronic or emotional pain; resolve relationship issues; or recover from trauma and grief.

Mostly utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, supported with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and an educational approach to reduce symptoms my clients come in with.
Facing hardships is something we all have in common. How each of us experience those hardships varies based on who we are, where we come from, what expectations we may have had, and what information we had at the time. Sometimes the hardship was not feeling safe growing up, for example not feeling like you could be yourself or being bullied. A hardship could also be a medical diagnosis, a car accident, being the victim or witness to a crime, a phobia, losing a loved one...and the list goes on. If you are ready to face what hardships you have experienced and how it’s impacted you, I would be honored to help you in this journey.

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.
