Focus Areas

Anxiety can show up in many forms—racing thoughts, constant worry, difficulty concentrating, or feeling overwhelmed in daily life. I work with clients to identify what’s fueling their anxiety and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to manage it. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, in control, and confident in your ability to cope.

Adolescence can be a time of self-discovery, stress, and emotional ups and downs. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space for teens to talk about what’s going on in their world. Whether it’s anxiety, academic pressure, identity questions, or peer conflict, I help teens build insight, resilience, and healthy coping strategies

Big life changes—starting college, becoming a parent, moving, changing jobs—can feel both exciting and disorienting. I support clients in navigating transitions with greater clarity, balance, and self-trust.

Therapeutic Approaches

CBT is a well-researched, goal-oriented approach that helps you recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. I use CBT techniques to help clients challenge unhelpful patterns, reduce distress, and build more balanced ways of thinking and responding

At the heart of my work is a strong belief in your inner wisdom and capacity for growth. Person-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I strive to meet each client with respect, curiosity, and deep listening—because you are the expert on your own life.

Griz, my calm and friendly black lab, is often part of the therapeutic process. His gentle presence offers comfort, emotional grounding, and a sense of connection that can be especially powerful during difficult conversations. Whether sitting beside you or simply being in the room, Griz helps create a welcoming space where healing can unfold naturally. I believe deeply in the human–animal bond and the unique way animals support emotional well-being.
