Therapy can be tough. Often it's not fun - exploring the painful parts of ourselves, confronting our beliefs that keep us stuck, challenging our behaviors that keep us from fulling being present in our lives, learning new ways to be with our emotions, and setting goals that will probably be difficult to do. This is what sets therapy apart from a conversation with a good friend. My role is to provide a space for you to show up, exactly how you are, open up, be seen, and have a professional with years of experience guide you in how to navigate the maze that mental health problems create.

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.
- 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.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.

Most people seek out therapy when their mental health starts to seriously interfere with their lives - whether this is work performance, relationships, health, or the ability to enjoy life. Often I see patients who have sought out therapy before and are looking for more than just someone to ‘talk to’. They’re looking to rapidly and seriously address the problems in their life that are getting in their way.
I have 17 years experience across the mental health and health care field. I provide direct, evidence based therapy for patients who need a specialized approach and want to change the direction of their lives. My background as a paramedic and experience in crisis intervention and high acuity care means we don’t spend months exploring the problem. We map the mechanics of your anxiety or problems, identify the behavioral loops holding you back, and use proven protocols to get your life back on track.
The role of the therapist is as a guide - to be competent and knowledgeable in a very specific domain - how to have a life not be ruined by mental health problems. With this in mind, the role of the patient is not passive, and there’s more to it than just showing up. Therapy is a collaborative process, and - when mental health concerns are present, it’s the job of the therapist to provide specific and directed guidance. It’s up to the patient to follow through. Most sessions end with specific goals and actions to accomplish in between - things like practicing new ways of reaction and feeling, behavioral and lifestyle goals, breathing or meditation practices, or new ways to interact in relationships. Change is hard - and we can layer in practices and techniques that make change easier. Mental health can seem incredibly complicated, people seek out specialists when they want to talk to someone who has seen it before.
We won't just talk about the life you want; we will build the psychological and behavioral infrastructure needed to sustain it. While the path to recovery requires effort, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
