I use TEAM-CBT, a structured method developed by Dr. David Burns at Stanford. I track your symptoms every session with real data — not guesswork — so we both know exactly what's working. Most clients see significant improvement in 4 to 6 sessions.

Identify what's driving your symptoms, target it directly, and measure your progress along the way. Sessions are focused and goal-oriented. When you've hit your goals, you're done — no open-ended therapy that drags on without direction.

Direct, warm, and results-driven. I bring genuine care to every session, but I also bring structure and accountability. Clients appreciate that they can see their progress — it's not abstract.

People who are tired of therapy that doesn't go anywhere. If you've talked through your problems before and still feel stuck, my approach is designed to be different — structured, evidence-based, and built around measurable change.

I went through my own mental health struggles and experienced firsthand how powerful good CBT can be. I wanted to offer that to others — therapy that actually produces results you can feel and measure

I hold Level 3 Advanced TEAM-CBT certification from the Feeling Good Institute and train regularly with the Beck Institute. You'll get tailored homework between sessions and data tracking every week. I see clients online across Virginia, Florida, and Texas.
