I specialize in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients overcome anxiety and depression and start feeling better. I understand that this process can feel overwhelming, so my style is warm and supportive. I encourage clients to guide the pace and direction of our sessions while I provide support, insight, and strategies to help them move forward. I also use humor when appropriate so the process does not always feel too serious or heavy. When necessary, I am direct and honest in a supportive way to help clients recognize what they may need to do differently in order to see different results.

CBT works by helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Often, patterns of negative thinking can keep people feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, stress, or self-doubt. In therapy, we identify those unhelpful thought patterns, challenge them, and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking. CBT can help you develop practical coping tools, improve emotional regulation, and feel more confident handling everyday challenges. It is a very active, goal-oriented approach that helps create real change both inside and outside of sessions.

When working with clients on anger management, I focus on helping them understand what is underneath the anger, because anger is often connected to stress, hurt, frustration, fear, or feeling unheard. Together, we look at triggers, patterns, and the thoughts that fuel emotional reactions. I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where clients can be honest about their experiences while learning healthier ways to pause, communicate, and respond. The goal is not to suppress anger, but to manage it more effectively, build self-awareness, and develop practical coping skills that improve relationships and daily life.
