Do you have a sense that something needs to change, but you're not sure where to start. Or why you keep getting in your own way? Maybe you overthink, shut down, say yes when you mean no, or feel like you're going through the motions. You're not broken. You're just stuck in patterns that made sense at some point and don't anymore. I work with adults who are ready to do something different. People who are growth-oriented, self-aware enough to know something isn't working, and motivated to change it.
I draw on CBT and research on shame, self-compassion, and vulnerability to help you understand not just what you do, but why, and respond to yourself with more honesty and less judgment. Sessions are direct and collaborative. I'm an active participant, not just a listener. We build practical tools, not just insight.
This kind of change is hard to do alone. That's not because you're not capable, but because we all have blind spots. If you're ready to feel more grounded, confident, and clear about who you are and how you want to show up, I'd love to hear from you. Reaching out is the hardest step. I'd be glad to make the rest a little easier.

Before becoming a therapist, I taught high school English, and it was there I first saw how much the stories we tell ourselves matter. That insight has driven my work across settings, including hospitals, community clinics, and nearly a decade of private practice.

I use CBT to help you see how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect and reinforce each other. Sessions are conversational and direct. I'll ask questions that push you to think differently, reflect back what I'm noticing, and offer practical tools for between sessions. The focus is always on what you can influence: how you interpret situations and how you choose to respond.
