You’ve started therapy, but now you’re looking for more than talk: practical tools to handle trauma, intense emotions, anxiety, depression, or a combination of those challenges. As a student or a professional, your challenges are unique, so I focus on evidence-based methods like the Unified Protocol and Cognitive Processing Therapy tailored to your life. Together, we will build skills to manage overwhelming emotions and find relief. Whether you’re in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Massachusetts, Georgia, or Florida, I’m here to support your meaningful change.
I am a Preferred Provider for CPT and Level I trained in UP, which are based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and are backed by scientific research and years of positive client feedback. This means you receive treatment that's grounded in what works, not just what sounds (or feels) good.
If you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma symptoms, emotional overwhelm, or depression, you’re not alone. Reaching out takes courage, and I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space for healing. When you’re ready to take that first step, I invite you to connect. I’m here to help you move forward.
