Welcome to Your Path of Evidence-Based Healing and Growth
Therapy offers you more than information or an ear;
It gives you the tools to help you improve the way you live, cope, heal, and grow.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, even after trying different ways to help yourself? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate these challenges by yourself. Therapy is more than just a conversation; it’s a collaborative process grounded in proven methods to help you create meaningful, lasting change.
As a therapist dedicated to evidence-based care, I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and the Unified Protocol (UP). These structured, research-backed approaches are designed to help you understand and transform the patterns that keep you feeling trapped by anxiety, trauma, or unhelpful beliefs. Together, we’ll work to build your self-awareness, strengthen your coping skills, and empower you to move forward with confidence. To learn more about Cognitive Processing Therapy and the Unified Protocol, please visit the About tab.
Whether you’re seeking to process past experiences, manage intense emotions, or develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others, I’m here to support you every step of the way. You have the strength to shape your own life, and meaningful change is possible with the right tools and support.
Take the first step toward a more fulfilling and connected life. Reach out today to schedule a consultation, and let’s begin your journey together.
