Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming and you don’t have to navigate it alone. My approach is client-centered, and I work with teens, young adults and families to help them overcome life’s challenges. With an extensive background working with teens experiencing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression, I can help guide you through difficult emotional landscapes. I also offer support for those experiencing suicidal ideation and provide tools for healing from attachment wounds. Using evidence-based practices, I’ll help you explore your thoughts and behaviors, which can lead to positive change.
Together, we’ll build resilience by enhancing your coping strategies, cultivating self-awareness and fostering healthy relationships. My integrative approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), strengths-based techniques, motivational interviewing, and talk therapy to meet your needs.
A trusting and secure therapeutic relationship is essential for healing. I invite you to take the first step by scheduling a complementary 15-minute introductory call. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together toward your therapeutic goals. Feel free to explore my website CognitiveFlowTherapy to learn more as well!

I often utilize a CBT and DBT framework in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
