I believe that you’re the expert on you—and with collaborative help from someone trained in evidence-based practices—improvement and healing are possible. I emphasize the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatments for your mental health concerns. Together, we will work to identify the relationships between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce unwanted symptoms and improve your quality of life and function (using science-backed techniques). You and I will work side-by-side to help you live a meaningful, satisfactory life in the presence of whatever symptoms are left over.  Therapy can be hard. I promise to meet you where you’re at and tailor treatment to meet your individual needs.

​

I specialize in working with adults who want relief from:  1) life stress [from work, transitions, relationships], 2) anxiety [including high-functioning anxiety, and overanalyzing], 3) depression or low motivation, 4) chronic pain/headaches, 5) coping with chronic illnesses or end-of-life issues [cancer, ALS, etc.], 6) caregiver fatigue, and 7) grief. 

​
