I utilize different techniques that will help you reframe your negative and unhelpful ways of thinking into positive thoughts, and give you the skills you need to be fully in control of your emotions.
Explore problematic patterns in your life (especially in relationships), address negative self-talk that is keeping you down, determine how to start making the changes that you have been wanting, and help you live a life with purpose and meaning.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is evidence-based, and very effective in treating anxiety, panic, insomnia, and many other issues. I teach concrete skills and assign homework to help you improve as fast as possible.

I help people understand and embrace their anxiety instead of feeling overwhelmed by it and constantly worried about the "what-ifs." I use research-backed, proven approaches, such as CBT, ACT, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
