CBT is a core part of my therapeutic approach. I help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. Using CBT, we develop practical strategies to manage distress, build confidence, and create new habits that support long-term growth. I tailor CBT tools to each person’s unique context so that change feels realistic, sustainable, and aligned with their values.

I specialize in Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to help clients improve the quality of their relationships and understand the connection between mood and social patterns. IPT is effective for depression, grief, role transitions, and relational conflict. I use this approach to guide clients through life changes while building stronger communication skills and more satisfying connections. It’s a practical, evidence-based way to strengthen emotional well-being through healthier relationships.

I integrate coaching techniques to support clients seeking clarity, direction, and personal growth in areas like career, relationships, or life transitions. My approach is structured, goal-oriented, and action-focused, helping clients identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and make meaningful changes. This is especially helpful for high-functioning individuals who want accountability and support in navigating decisions or achieving specific goals.

I provide trauma-informed care for clients coping with PTSD from childhood experiences, relational trauma, or acute events. My approach emphasizes safety, emotional regulation, and gradual processing of painful memories. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, and interpersonal techniques to help reduce symptoms and restore a sense of agency. Healing from trauma is possible, and I’m here to support you through every step.

I work with individuals and couples navigating conflict, communication challenges, attachment issues, and emotional disconnection. Whether you're facing a crisis, adjusting to a new relationship stage, or trying to break old patterns, I offer a calm, structured space to improve how you relate to others. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients build healthier, more fulfilling relationships through insight, boundaries, and skill-building.

I help adults manage anxiety by combining practical tools with deeper exploration of what drives chronic worry, fear, or overthinking. My approach supports clients in identifying triggers, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and building confidence in their ability to cope. Whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or panic, we’ll work together to reduce distress and help you feel more grounded and in control.
