Do you ever feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-criticism, or cycles of negative thoughts that leave you stuck, drained, or out of control? You don’t have to face it alone. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I can help you identify and challenge unhelpful patterns, replace them with balanced, realistic perspectives, and develop practical tools to build a clearer, calmer, and more confident mindset. Therapy isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, resilience, and learning to treat yourself with compassion.
I completed a post-graduate certification in Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at New York University, and I am Level 2 Certified in TEAM-CBT through the Feeling Good Institute. This advanced training allows me to go beyond traditional talk therapy and use structured, outcome-focused CBT methods that help clients see measurable progress.
My work is rooted in trust, fairness, compassion, and accountability. I approach therapy in a practical, straightforward way and show up authentically — not as a scripted clinician, but as a real person committed to helping you create meaningful change. If you're ready to begin, let’s get started.

"
For cognitive-behavioral therapy to be effective, an individual needs to be motivated and willing to do the work required to change. CBT is an action-oriented talk therapy structured to focus on the present, problem-focused, and skill-building. All of this is achieved by the person's commitment to homework, openness, and consistent practice of skills learned.
