You deserve a space where you can finally exhale, feel understood, and begin to heal. I specialize in working with women and LGBTQ+ adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship pain, chronic stress, burn out and life transitions such as aging, breakups or divorce. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in repeating patterns that affect their self-worth, relationships, and peace of mind. Together, we work to uncover root causes, shift negative thinking patterns, and create lasting internal change rather than temporary coping.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.

- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Helps clients challenge and replace irrational beliefs. It is an action-oriented approach for lasting change.
Approach Description: In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns, explore how they affect your emotions and actions, and develop practical strategies to shift them. CBT helps you respond to stress, anxiety, or negative self-talk in healthier ways, so you can feel more in control, confident, and balanced in your daily life.
I use eclectic therapy, which means I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to best meet your unique needs. Instead of sticking to one method, I combine tools and strategies from different therapies—like CBT, mindfulness, attachment work, and trauma-informed approaches—to help you navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions. This flexible approach allows us to tailor each session to what works best for you, helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered.
I use hypnotherapy to help you access a deeply relaxed, focused state where your mind is more open to positive change. In this state, we can work on habits, patterns, and beliefs that may be holding you back—like stress, anxiety, or self-doubt—so you can feel calmer, more confident, and more in control of your thoughts and behaviors. Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural way to support lasting change alongside traditional therapy.
I use Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgment. By combining mindfulness practices with cognitive strategies, we learn to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and respond to stress, anxiety, or low mood in healthier ways. MBCT helps you feel calmer, more focused, and better able to handle life’s challenges with clarity and balance.
