Feeling like your brain is a browser with 47 tabs open and everything's frozen? I specialize in helping people debug their anxiety, reconnect with accidentally deleted feelings, and reassemble their life without losing any essential pieces.
I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Utah (yes, I spent all those years in school to learn how to ask 'how does that make you feel?'). I completed a fellowship in trauma psychology at the South Texas VA and am an adjunct faculty at UT School of Medicine because I honestly find people profoundly fascinating.
I work with the greatest hits of human struggle: relationships, anxiety, and the art of avoiding things until they pile up like laundry. Your background matters to me: your culture, identity, beliefs, where you're from, all of it. I primarily use CBT, which is like having a really good debate coach for the ongoing argument between you and your thoughts.
I promise, no lying on a couch, talking about your childhood (unless you want to). Together we'll build a toolkit of science-backed strategies. Therapy is like GPS: no judgment for missing the exit three times, and finding a route that actually works for you. I primarily use CBT, which is like having a really good debate coach for your own negative thoughts.
