I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thinking patterns that may be keeping you stuck and explore how they impact your emotions and actions. Through practical exercises and collaborative problem-solving, you'll learn concrete skills to challenge negative thoughts, manage difficult emotions, and make meaningful changes in your daily life.

I use Motivational Interviewing to meet you where you are in your journey toward change. Rather than telling you what to do, I work collaboratively with you to explore your own motivations, values, and ambivalence about making changes in your life. Through empathic listening and guided conversation, I help you discover your own reasons for change and build confidence in your ability to move forward at a pace that feels right for you.

In my practice, I use Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to help you develop a new relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions. Together, we'll combine mindfulness techniques with cognitive strategies so you can notice negative thought patterns as they arise without getting caught up in them. This approach gives you practical tools to respond to life's challenges with greater awareness and compassion rather than falling into old cycles of rumination or reactivity.

Do you find yourself losing your identity in relationships, struggling with boundaries, or feeling responsible for others' emotions? I specialize in helping individuals break free from codependent patterns in romantic relationships, friendships, families, and at work. Through compassionate, personalized therapy, you'll learn to set healthy boundaries, build self-worth, and create balanced relationships where everyone can thrive. It's possible to care deeply without losing yourself.

I work with clients to understand how anxiety shows up in their lives and use evidence-based techniques tailored to their needs. Together, we'll identify the patterns that fuel your anxiety and develop practical strategies—like challenging unhelpful thoughts, gradually facing fears, and calming your nervous system. My goal is to help you develop lasting tools so anxiety becomes something you manage, not something that manages you.
