Zoe is skilled in and holds special certifications in the following areas:

Trauma Informed

Zoe provides trauma-informed care utilizing several therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs while prioritizing emotional safety and resilience.

CBT therapy

Zoe is also a CBT trained therapist. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) teaches you practical skills to understand and change the patterns that keep you stuck—especially the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She will teach you how to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, how to challenge and reframe thoughts, how to regulate emotions and how to change behaviors that maintain symptoms. CBT is a structured and goal-focused modality, with practice between sessions so you see changes in real life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a skills-based therapy that helps you manage intense emotions and build steadier relationships and routines. It’s especially useful when emotions feel “too big,” reactions feel hard to control, or life feels like a roller coaster. Zoe helps patients who feel overwhelmed by big emotions, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to cope when life gets heavy. She will help you build practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, mood swings, and impulsive reactions—so you can respond to stress without shutting down, exploding, or turning on yourself. 

Motivational Interviewing

Zoe uses a therapeutic tool called Motivational Interviewing (MI). MI helps you explore what you truly want to change—without judgment or pressure. Zoe asks thoughtful questions, and reflects back what she's hearing, to help you sort through mixed feelings so you can feel clearer and more confident in your next steps. Together, you will identify your values, strengths, and personal reasons for change, then turn that insight into realistic goals and a plan that fits your life. Zoes' role is to support your autonomy and help you build momentum in a way that feels encouraging, empowering, and sustainable.

Beyond her work, Zoe values spending time with her husband, friends, family, and dog. She feels recharged and empowered by being physically active, spending time in nature, and hosting game nights. Zoe’s community describes her as genuine, open-minded, funny, athletic, supportive, and loyal.
