Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In our CBT work together, we'll explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interconnect. I'll guide you in identifying thought patterns that may be holding you back and help you develop more balanced perspectives. Through practical exercises and real-world applications, you'll learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts, manage difficult emotions, and create lasting positive changes. This evidence-based approach empowers you with concrete tools you can use throughout your life.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Rather than dwelling on problems, SFBT focuses on building solutions by identifying your strengths and past successes. Together, we'll explore what's already working in your life and amplify these positive elements. I'll help you set clear, achievable goals and recognize small steps of progress. Through targeted questions and future-focused discussions, we'll create practical strategies to move you toward your desired outcomes, emphasizing your resilience and capability for change.

Anxiety

Living with anxiety can feel like being stuck in a constant state of worry and overwhelm. I help clients understand their anxiety triggers, develop practical coping tools, and build confidence in managing symptoms. Together, we'll explore the root causes of your anxiety and create strategies that work for your unique situation. Through our work, you'll learn to transform overwhelming anxiety into manageable responses, helping you live more fully in the present.

Depression

Depression can make even simple tasks feel insurmountable, leaving you feeling disconnected from joy and purpose. I provide a supportive space to explore these feelings while working together to rebuild hope and motivation. Using CBT and solution-focused techniques, we'll identify patterns that contribute to depression, develop effective coping strategies, and gradually reconnect you with activities and relationships that bring meaning to your life.

PTSD

Trauma can deeply impact how we view ourselves and navigate the world. As a trauma-informed therapist, I create a safe environment where healing can unfold at your pace. Using evidence-based approaches, we'll work together to process experiences, develop coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. Whether you're dealing with recent events or childhood experiences, I'm here to support your journey toward healing and resilience.
