I specialize in evidence-based CBT for adults, focusing on practical tools, measurable progress, and long-term relief. With 20+ years of experience, my approach is structured, collaborative, and tailored to you.”
About Me
I use CBT to help individuals gain practical strategies for managing challenging anxiety and stress related concerns My structured approach suits those seeking concrete ways to understand and shift their experiences, fostering lasting improvements in daily life.
Approach
In our work together, you can expect a structured, collaborative approach. I use evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which means we’ll set clear, measurable goals and track your progress over time. I often suggest homework or real-life experiments between sessions-not as a test, but as a way to help you build confidence and make meaningful, lasting change. I’ll always meet you with support, warmth, and a belief that healing is possible with the right tools and guidance.
