I prefer to work with youth and adults using trauma-informed care including Cognitive Behavior Therapy ( CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
In my nearly four years as a Licensed Mental Health Associate, I have worked with queer and neurodivergent clients to bring about the change they want to see in their lives. My experience has taught me that everyone is different, and that each person holds their own truth. Finding that truth helps us unlock the strength that comes from inside ourselves.

I base my practice on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a cognitive-behavioral, evidence-based approach.
Our beliefs, behavior patterns, and perceptions can prevent us from living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Noticing how we think and identifying life values can provide a compass for living and give us direction, away from anxiety and depression. We can be empowered by choices about where our mind would take us.

DBT and CBT-informed skills provide structure for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression if you prefer a more practical, solution-focused approach.
Many of us grew up in families where love may exist, but emotional safety was missing. Despite good intentions, dysfunction—through abuse, neglect, perfectionism, addiction, or enmeshment—often left deep emotional wounds that still affect how we see ourselves and relate to others. I understand this pain both personally and professionally. I specialize in helping adults heal from the lasting effects of childhood trauma. My clients often struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, people-pleasing, fear of authority, relationship challenges, emotional flashbacks or associated behaviors.

You keep asking yourself, Why can’t I just let it go? You’ve tried to move on. You’ve buried the memories, pushed through the pain, told yourself it wasn’t that bad. But it still shows up—in your body, in your relationships, in those moments when you feel anxious, frozen, or overwhelmed. You’ve been told to forgive, to forget, to be strong—but deep down, you don’t feel safe. Maybe part of you still believes it was your fault. The truth is, you don’t need to ‘get over it.’ You need space to heal. Safely. Gently. In your own time. That’s where trauma therapy begins in IA (50067), WA (98520, 99166, 98841) & WI (54154, 54456, 54521).

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.
