As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I focus on how your thoughts, behaviors, emotions, assumptions, and personal perspective connect together. As you gain awareness and insight about all these parts of yourself, we will also work to identify your strengths and challenges. My work centers on helping you develop flexibility with your thinking, changes in how you do things, and pushing yourself in healthy ways. We will identify your values and develop strategies to help you build a life in line with these values. Boundaries, laughter, realistic goal setting, logical thinking, self-compassion, and emotional validation are common themes in my therapy sessions. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and focus my treatment on helping you achieve post-traumatic growth. I also provide Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD for those who are in need of a more structured approach.

 

I strive to customize treatment to be maximally effective and beneficial for every client. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we will work together in meaningful ways. My expectation is that you will be an active participant in therapy, as well as your life. You are responsible for taking action towards therapy goals and my job is to help you get there.

I work with adults ages 18 and up. I am currently accepting first responders (firefighters, police, EMT) as new clients. L & I claims are accepted.
