About Me

Supportive, Goal-Oriented Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Life Transitions

CBT and Solution-Focused Therapist | Mental Health Counseling for All Ages

I am a compassionate, goal-oriented therapist who helps individuals move past anxiety, depression, and life challenges toward lasting change. As a licensed clinician, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, collaborating with clients to identify strengths, set realistic goals, and build practical coping skills. CBT is an evidence-based approach that targets unhelpful thoughts, behaviors, and physical responses to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance daily functioning. I offer in-person and Telehealth therapy sessions for individuals ready to start their healing journey.

My Therapy Approach

I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can feel heard and empowered. My approach combines practical, evidence-based methods designed to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

Core elements include:

  • Person-centered care tailored to your unique goals and strengths
  • Evidence-based methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • A focus on building resilience, clarity, and lasting behavioral change

How CBT Helps

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works by addressing the connection between thoughts, behaviors, and physical sensations. In sessions, we use tools like cognitive restructuring to reframe negative thinking, behavioral experiments to test beliefs, and gradual exposure when anxiety, panic, or phobias are present.

You’ll learn practical coping skills such as:

  • Thought records and activity scheduling
  • Relaxation and grounding techniques for stress or trauma
  • Sleep hygiene and behavioral activation for depression or insomnia

I draw from principles of clinical psychology and behavioral science to create personalized treatment plans. Whether you’re working through generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, therapy focuses on measurable progress and practical change.

Areas of Focus

  • Anxiety and Depression: Treatment for generalized anxiety, panic, and depressive disorders using CBT and solution-focused methods to improve mood, reduce worry, and restore functioning.
  • Stress and Burnout: Learn tools for managing stress, relaxation training, grounding, and mindfulness to restore balance.
  • Trauma and PTSD: Trauma-informed CBT techniques and graded exposure to support stabilization and recovery.
  • Life Transitions and Identity: Support through career, relationship, or identity changes using values-based and goal-oriented strategies.
  • Relationships: Improve communication, boundaries, and emotional awareness in personal or family relationships.

Most clients experience meaningful improvement within 8–16 sessions through structured, evidence-based care.

Begin Your Healing Journey

Reaching out for help is a courageous first step. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy focused on helping you reduce anxiety, overcome depression, and build practical skills for everyday life. Together, we’ll create a clear plan toward emotional balance and personal growth.
