Great to meet you!

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based practice that is effective for depression, all forms of anxiety, insomnia and substance use disorders. It is time-limited (between 10-15 sessions) so you will experience relief from your symptoms rather quickly.

My approach to therapy

We'll explore your values, your goals, and the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to feeling depressed or anxious. There is a workbook assigned so come prepared to do homework.

What you can expect from me

A sense of personal growth and a diminishment of the symptoms or unhappiness that were the reasons for seeking therapy.
