You already know how overwhelming and exhausting anxiety can become. Anxious thoughts, an upset stomach, tenseness, irritability - do any of these experiences sound familiar? Whatever you are experiencing, you deserve expert, caring support. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy and other practices that are known to help many people struggling with anxiety. Anxiety is treatable; let’s work as a team to help you start feeling like yourself again.

Depression isn’t just sadness. You may have intensely negative thoughts, hopelessness, irritability, troubles with sleep and appetite, or a variety of other symptoms. Whatever you are experiencing, you deserve expert, caring support. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, an approach that is known to help many people struggling with depression. By working as a team, we can help you to break out of the depression cycle. Let’s get you back on track and feeling like yourself again.

Mindfulness ties together many key ideas that make us human, such as our attention, judgments, openness, and embrace of the here and now. During our teamwork, I often choose to integrate mindfulness practices into my typical cognitive-behavioral therapy approach. Through practice, you can increase your awareness, feel more able to choose your responses, and live your life more fully.

Exposure is known by scientists and therapists to work well with anxiety and OCD. The idea is easy to grasp; when we avoid things because of anxiety, our brains learn to become even more anxious about those same things! The solution with exposure therapy is to do the opposite: to work together compassionately to begin approaching our fears. Approaching our fears can be terrifying at first, but with a caring professional, it is one of the best methods for breaking the anxiety cycle.

I have enjoyed exploring CBT with clients for nearly 20 years now. CBT is known by scientists and therapists to work well for many issues, and fits my approach well. Every one of us sees the world through our own lens. As we travel our unique paths, our lens affects how we approach the world and how we feel. Through teamwork, I can help you to understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. By using this deeper understanding, we can then empower you to make healthy changes.
