Are you ready to feel empowered and notice you feel most relaxed with animals and in nature? Perhaps, traditional-talk therapy doesn't feel quite right for you and you're curious about an experiential approach to heal and grow. When working with me and our amazing animals (horses, goats, dogs) on the farm, you can anticipate learning to leverage your strengths, building resilience and finding meaning through challenges. I provide care for children, adolescents, adults and families, many of whom need help with anxiety, depression, stress, panic attacks, trauma, PTSD, grief, ADHD, family issues, and coping with disease and disability.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults. While I use a variety of approaches (including AEDP, Existential Theory, Attachment Theory, EFT, and DBT), ultimately I like to let our work together inform which approach suits our time best. I am knowledgeable about trauma-informed practice and bring a lot of my own life experiences into the sessions, through my work as a teacher, professional firefighter, and professionaI musician.

Through time at non profits and private practice, I have shaped a multicultural, lgbtgq, client-focused, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy approach, blending calming and grounding techniques while working to alleviate faulty cognitions to change our emotions and, eventually, our actions.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if something in your life was different? Or thought to yourself, "I wish that I could chase my dreams," but got overwhelmed once finally sitting down to attempt to set goals for yourself? Have you ever hoped that someone could just SEE you or honestly listen to what you say or think in life without judgment? Someone to "walk' alongside the true you? Are these questions themselves causing you anxiety or leaving you feeling stuck after answering yes to at least one? If so, you are not alone. You're having a human experience, and these challenges are incredibly typical throughout one's life.

I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, Strength-Based therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Some realizations don’t arrive in loud moments. They come in the quiet pauses of life on a late-night drive, folding laundry, or while the house finally sleeps. That’s when you feel the weight of what you’ve been carrying: a diagnosis, caregiving, shifting responsibilities, or the exhaustion of holding it all together. I work with adults (18+) across life stages navigating burnout, caregiver stress, grief, medical challenges, and transitions. Many are the ones others rely on, but rarely feel supported. I help you slow down, process, and find steadiness.

I use cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapies to help people better understand how life events have impacted them and make changes accordingly.
I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. I have worked with men, women, teens, and families on various issues. Sometimes that work involved helping them through a particular incident or life change that overwhelmed them. Other times, our work centered around longstanding topics of depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. With years of both institutional and outpatient experience, I enjoy helping people move from a place they can no longer tolerate to one where they feel happier and more effective. I also provide clinical supervision for LPC residents.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted? Whatever you’re dealing with deserves space to be heard. I aim to create that space—where you can feel at ease, silence, tears, and anger are respected, laughter and snacks are always welcome, and you don’t have to perform or “get it right.” Sessions often include warmth, lightness, and supportive challenge. We might move between exploring core beliefs and tackling everyday stress. I believe therapeutic connection is built through authenticity and collaboration. You hold the reins; I bring support, guidance, new skills, and a steady sounding board.

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.
