CBT helps treat anxiety, PTSD, panic disorder, depression and more by targeting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. I gained advanced CBT-D training while working with veterans at the VA, helping individuals disrupt cycles of negative thinking and emotional withdrawal. My approach is structured and client-centered—rooted in resilience, practical coping tools, and culturally attuned care that supports clarity and emotional strength.

I’ve been trained in EMDR since 2015 and specialize in trauma recovery through this evidence-based modality. My approach provides a safe and structured space for clients to process distressing memories and reduce emotional reactivity. I guide individuals through the healing of complex trauma shaped by both childhood and adult experiences.

I’m trained in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a compassionate, goal-oriented approach that helps people tap into their strengths and envision a hopeful path forward. It’s especially helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I work collaboratively with clients to highlight what’s already working and build meaningful, achievable steps toward the future they want—one conversation at a time.

I support clients in healing from PTSD through a gentle, structured approach that integrates EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness. Whether rooted in toxic relationships, chronic stress, or life-threatening experiences, PTSD can feel overwhelming—but it's treatable. I provide a safe space to process painful memories, reduce emotional reactivity, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. My work is collaborative and attuned to each person’s pace, values, and cultural context.

I help people navigate anxiety that’s often triggered by relationships, work stress, past trauma, or major life changes. Together, we explore how anxiety shows up in your life and uncover the patterns that fuel it. Using CBT and mindfulness, along with practical tools like breathwork, grounding, and lifestyle shifts, we build personalized coping strategies that support clarity and calm. My approach is collaborative and centered on helping you feel more in control, connected, and confident.

I support clients through depression using CBT-D, Strength Based and mindfulness-based techniques. Through psychoeducation, insight discussions and practice, you will learn cognitive and behavioral skills to address symptoms associated with depression. Together, we break patterns of negative thinking, rebuild motivation, and explore practical tools for clarity, connection, and renewed purpose.
