As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I specialize in helping clients identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that are contributing to their emotional distress. I empower clients to effectively manage their emotions, improve their problem-solving skills, and work towards achieving their personal goals.

During our initial sessions, we will explore the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you improve your quality of life. Most of my clients see gradual progress of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
