When anxiety or depression has been weighing on you for a while, even getting through an ordinary day can take more energy than anyone around you realizes. You may feel constantly on edge, experience panic that seems to come out of nowhere, or find yourself relying on familiar ways of coping just to get through difficult emotions. I work with adults and seniors experiencing anxiety, depression, panic disorders, PTSD, and chronic conditions. These experiences can also overlap with OCD, substance use or addiction, bipolar disorder, stress, grief or loss, physical health concerns, or identity concerns, especially when your emotional and physical wellbeing begin affecting one another. Therapy can give you a place to understand what is happening without judgment or pressure to simply push through it. Together, we can make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen healthier ways of coping, and help you feel more stable and confident in your everyday life.

Our work will make room for both what you are experiencing today and the emotions, health concerns, relationships, and experiences that have shaped how you got here. We’ll explore how anxiety, depression, panic disorders, PTSD, and chronic conditions may be affecting your emotional wellbeing and ability to feel safe and grounded in everyday life. I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and develop healthier ways of responding, Trauma Focused CBT to help you process painful experiences while building skills for managing the emotions and reactions connected to them, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to develop practical tools for regulating intense emotions and tolerating difficult moments. Motivational Interviewing can help you explore change without pressure, while Family Therapy approaches can help us better understand how relationships and family patterns may influence what you are experiencing. Our sessions will be collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in your individual needs, balancing deeper understanding with practical tools you can use outside of therapy.

You do not need to have everything figured out or know exactly where therapy should begin. During our first few sessions, we will take time to understand what has brought you here, what has been most difficult, and what you hope will feel different. Together, we will create goals that feel meaningful and realistic and decide where it makes the most sense to start. You can expect me to bring warmth, openness, and encouragement to our conversations while creating a space where difficult emotions, health concerns, and painful experiences can be discussed without judgment. Progress may look like feeling less consumed by anxiety, reconnecting with yourself when depression feels heavy, feeling more capable when panic arises, developing healthier ways to cope with trauma, or feeling better supported while navigating chronic health concerns. We will continue checking in on your goals and shape our work around what helps you feel more grounded, supported, and capable moving forward.
