Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.

I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, chronic overthinking, perfectionism, and the feeling that they can never fully switch off. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and informed by nervous system regulation, helping you understand not only what you're thinking and doing, but why certain patterns keep you stuck.

Together, we work to identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that reinforce anxiety while building practical skills to help you feel more regulated, flexible, and confident navigating everyday life.

Therapy is tailored to your individual experiences, symptoms, and goals. When appropriate, I also integrate Brainspotting and mindfulness-based interventions to support deeper healing and self-awareness. Sessions are available in person and through secure telehealth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior.

CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.

Anxiety doesn't always look like panic. Sometimes it looks like overthinking every decision, preparing for every possible outcome, needing reassurance, avoiding situations that feel uncertain, or staying constantly busy because slowing down feels uncomfortable.

You may know logically that you're okay and still feel like your mind and body haven't gotten the message.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps us understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors. Together, we'll identify the patterns that keep anxiety going—including avoidance, reassurance seeking, perfectionism, overthinking, and other behaviors that may provide temporary relief but reinforce anxiety over time.

Treatment isn't simply about learning how to calm down. We'll work on helping you respond differently to anxious thoughts and sensations, build greater tolerance for uncertainty and discomfort, and develop practical strategies for nervous system regulation.

The goal isn't to never feel anxious again. It's to help anxiety have less control over the choices you make and the life you want to live.

I work with adults experiencing:

• Generalized anxiety and chronic worry

• Panic and fear of physical sensations

• Social anxiety

• Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors

• Perfectionism and fear of making mistakes

• Overthinking and difficulty tolerating uncertainty

• Anxiety-related avoidance

• Chronic stress and difficulty slowing down

If anxiety is taking up more space in your life than you'd like, therapy can help you understand what's keeping the cycle going—and learn how to respond differently.

Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster. While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life. Individual therapy helps you win against whatever you’re battling by putting a real expert in your corner by means of a professional therapist.

Individual therapy is so helpful for so many people because it’s the best way to get truly customized therapy. Group therapy may have its own set of numerous advantages but if you want more control over the pacing of your therapy, the methods used, the amount of analysis or feedback you can receive, and the timing of your sessions, you owe it to yourself to look into individual therapy.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, or MBCT, is designed for people who suffer from repeated bouts of depression or chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness.

Recent research has shown that people who have been clinically depressed three or more times in their life find that learning mindfulness-based skills help considerably to reduce their chances of depression returning.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, involves having obsessive thinking patterns that can include unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that make a person feel anxious or distressed.

Individuals who have OCD often have significant difficulty pushing away or ignoring these thoughts. Those with OCD also have compulsive behaviors which are an attempt to reverse the obsessive thoughts or urges by performing some sort of action. 

Posttraumatic stress disorder - also known as PTSD - is a mental health challenge that may occur in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a terrorist act, an act of war, a serious accident, rape, or any other violent personal assault.

It is believed that PTSD affects nearly four percent of the U.S. adult population. While it is usually linked with veterans who’ve experienced combat, PTSD occurs in all people regardless of age, race, nationality, or culture. In fact, women are twice as likely to experience PTSD than men.

While it is normal to feel nervous in some social situations, people who experience daily social anxiety tend to avoid everyday interactions that cause them significant fear, anxiety, self-consciousness, and embarrassment because they fear being scrutinized or judged by others. 

Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health condition. Learning coping skills in therapy sessions can help you gain the confidence you need to improve your ability to interact with others.
