How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

Hi! Have you ever felt like you couldn’t shake that dark cloud hanging over you? Where you lost interest in things or aren’t feeling “normal”. (No one is normal). Whether it’s depression, OCD, trauma/PTSD…or life itself…you don’t have to struggle! Therapy is best when the client and therapist work together. I believe that everyone should be able to access mental health care -regardless of income.  Just a little about myself- I have my masters degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling and am licensed in Louisiana to practice.  I truly enjoy working in the mental health field. I have experience with inpatient hospitals, intensive outpatient therapy, private practice and everything in between. I am grateful for all these experiences that helped me grow as a clinician and as a person.  Hope we can work towards healing and growth!

I help adults with anxiety, stress, and trauma-related concerns. Treatment often includes understanding patterns that keep you stuck, learning practical coping skills, and gently addressing underlying experiences that affect how you think and feel. Over time, you can expect greater clarity, emotional stability, and improved confidence in managing daily life.

I wholeheartedly believe that everyone can benefit from having an impartial person to talk to! My goal is to provide a safe, judgement-free environment for you to work through the barriers and obstacles of everyday life, regardless of the situation. I am here to listen to you, support your thoughts, validate your feelings, and provide comfort and understanding. You are so important and deserve to be heard, and I would love to be a part of that journey with you.

I have 15 years of experience working in mental healthcare, with a primary focus on addictions and eating disorders. I provide individual, family, and couples therapy for those seeking support with their own addiction or the addiction of a loved one, as well as eating disorders, trauma, and fertility issues. My approach incorporates both top-down and bottom-up methods, using Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I aim to support clients in understanding their experiences while developing practical tools for healing and meaningful change.

You can be successful, self-aware, and highly capable; and still feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, burnt out, or stuck repeating patterns that no longer serve you. Many of the clients I work with are the person others rely on: driven, independent, logical, and high-functioning externally, while internally struggling to process pressure, identity, relationships, emotions, or the deeper question of whether their life actually feels aligned. I specialize in men’s mental health, high performers, athletes, professionals, and individuals navigating emotional regulation, identity development, life transitions, burnout, and relationship challenges. My approach integrates Brainspotting, attachment-focused therapy, CBT, existential exploration, and experiential processing to help clients move beyond intellectual understanding and develop greater emotional awareness, accountability, autonomy, and alignment. As an adoptee and minority therapist with a background in corporate and high-performance environments, I bring both lived experience and clinical insight into conversations surrounding identity, resilience, belonging, achievement, and adaptation. Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, and grounded in honesty and human connection. I believe insight is important, but meaningful change also requires ownership, intentionality, and the willingness to actively engage in the life you want to create.

I am a licensed practicing psychotherapist in California with 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and consultation services to adults. I believe that life’s most difficult moments are often the catalysts for our greatest growth. My mission is to provide you with a safe, inclusive, and deeply collaborative space to explore the roots of your challenges and discover a more purposeful, fulfilling way of living. I take a holistic approach to healing, focusing on the integration of mind, body, and soul. Understanding that healing is not one-size-fits-all, I draw from specialized modalities—including Jungian Psychology, Depth Psychology, and EMDR—tailoring our work to your unique goals. In treating depression, anxiety, and trauma, our sessions may incorporate dream work, creative arts, talk therapy, and exploring the neurobiology of your attachment patterns and relationships. Together, we will work at your pace to resolve internal conflicts and release limiting patterns. I have the privilege of working with individuals from all spiritual and religious backgrounds, as well as those defining their own personal paths. Experiencing hardship can be an invitation to guide you toward a deeper level of understanding and satisfaction in your career, personal relationships, and physical intimacy. If you are ready to build a stronger sense of self and move toward a life of greater fulfillment, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and serving as a partner on your journey.
