I’m a psychologist with experience in trauma, relational, and cognitive-behavioral treatments. Collaboratively and compassionately, I help my clients heal and recover in different ways.

Life is amazing yet difficult. We are always adapting to change, whether they want to or not. These adaptations can take a toll on us, which is why it's always important to check in on you, yeah, the inner you, and make sure that "you" are okay. That is why seeking a therapist is a top priority. I provide support for individuals, couples, families, and groups. I support all individuals and am an Ally for inclusivity regarding race, religion, ability, gender, sexuality, body type, and age. I also have experience working with Neurodivergent individuals, both verbal vocal and non-verbal vocal. I work with adults and adolescents.

Life can resemble a journey filled with straight paths, unexpected curves, and occasional detours. There are moments when we might feel lost, encounter dead ends, or navigate through uncertainty. During these times, having a supportive co-pilot can be invaluable in helping us stay focused on our goals.

Most of the clients I see are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, and loss. I dedicated years of my clinical research to find the best possible coping strategies for above mentioned conditions. In my practice, I am using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps patients achieve personal growth and rethink or change the ways they approach different dilemmas. My clinical approach is not only to decrease the severity of current acute symptoms, but to help patients maintain a stable emotional state.

Through a curious look at what we tell ourselves - - about our ability to handle frustration, tolerate uncertainty, cope with loss, and relate to others - - it may be surprising to learn how easily we raise worried-to-panicked, annoyed-to-infuriated, and disappointed-to-devastated.

You’re tired of feeling like you’re never enough. Whether it’s in relationships, at work, or in motherhood, you find yourself pouring into others, but your own glass is empty. You give so much of yourself to everyone else but struggle to rest without feeling guilty. Your inner critic never seems to quiet down, and it’s hard to recognize your worth unless someone else validates it. You want to feel confident, valued, and grounded in who you are—but you’re not sure how to get there.

You might be someone who may internally feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Maybe you’ve been pushing through for years, but now the weight of it all is catching up with intrusive thoughts, emotional burnout, or a sense of being “off” that you can’t quite name. You might use humor as a shield, perfectionism as a coping strategy, or avoidance as a survival tool but want to feel better about themselves, their situation, or their mindset. Is this you?

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists

What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?

The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?

Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?

REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
