Are you ready for meaningful change—not just talking about problems, but actually learning how to move forward? Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, or relationship struggles. You may understand why you’re struggling, but struggle to create real, lasting change. Good therapy can help you move from insight to action. I work best with individuals who are motivated for growth and open to learning practical skills. Whether you’re navigating long-standing patterns, recent life stressors, or unresolved trauma, meaningful change is possible.
With over 30 years of experience, I offer thoughtful, structured therapy that goes beyond insight and emotional support to invoke meaningful, lasting change. Using cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches, I help you develop practical skills to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Starting therapy is difficult — especially if you’ve tried before or aren’t sure what to expect. Many people come in feeling uncertain, discouraged, or stuck. That’s okay. Change happens step by step. If you’re looking for a therapist who is experienced, thoughtful, and focused on helping you move forward — not just talk — I’d be honored to work with you.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including techniques influenced by Dr. David Burns, to help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills. Our sessions are active, goal-oriented, and focused on measurable progress. Typically we meet weekly or biweekly to identify patterns, build practical tools, and create steady progress.
