I take an eclectic, integrative approach—blending outdoor experiential therapy, expressive arts, and mindfulness-based cognitive techniques—to help you build practical coping skills and cultivate self-confidence.
I specialize in working with adolescents and males, particularly those facing challenges such as ADHD, anger management, anxiety, and other issues that may make traditional office settings feel intimidating. I use both top-down and bottom-up strategies, helping you develop somatic regulation alongside cognitive resilience.

My work integrates cognitive and somatic approaches, focusing on self-compassion, practical coping, and sustainable change that supports both emotional and physical well-being.
Anxiety, ADHD, & Chronic Illness Therapy for Adults: If you feel like stress, anxiety, self-criticism, or food/body struggles have stopped you from living the life you want, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with people who feel overwhelmed in their own nervous system and exhausted by trying to function like they’re not. Many of my clients feel frustrated that they “know better” but can’t seem to change old patterns, or they’ve tried therapy before and didn’t feel understood. My ideal client is ready to explore how stress, dysregulation, and emotion shape their behavior.

All people at their core desire to be seen, heard, and valued as their most authentic self. Being vulnerable is the ultimate POWER move, but it can be unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and even scary. Connection, humor, levity and humor can make that less so while doing that hard and worthwhile work to heal. EMDR is a modality that I believe in and use for helping the body to let go of stored trauma, but the meat of what I do is processing in the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. Building a life worth living begins and ends with connection, regulation, and acceptance, but getting there doesn't have to be a lonely road.

My primary goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with the tools to live productive lives. We all have a story to tell and a journey to take. The vital component of everyone’s journey is the paths they take and identifying their catalyst to achieve change. The driving force in my career path is the desire to reach members of society that have a misconception regarding counseling and increase their knowledge of the therapeutic process. Also, providing individuals with a voice and the courage to use it. Letting your voice be a positive reflection of who you are can trigger change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
