I help individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected make sense of their experiences and develop evidence‐based strategies that support meaningful, lasting change. I work with people navigating stress, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and major life transitions—clients who want to understand their patterns, strengthen coping skills, and move toward greater stability and wellbeing.

Clinically, I focus on identifying issues impacting daily functioning, clarifying needs and goals, and building practical skills that promote emotional regulation, resilience, and healthier patterns. My approach blends insight‐oriented work with concrete, evidence‐based interventions, helping clients understand why they feel the way they do and how to shift those experiences in real time. Together, we explore the factors shaping thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and create a plan that supports progress, confidence, and a greater sense of control.

I enjoy working with couples, older adults, and individual adults. Across all populations, I’m drawn to helping people improve their relationships—with themselves and others—and create lives that feel more stable, connected, and fulfilling.

I also support individuals navigating substance use concerns, whether they’re reducing harmful patterns, maintaining recovery, or trying to understand the role substances play in their emotional and behavioral cycles. I offer a nonjudgmental, structured space to explore these experiences, identify triggers, strengthen coping strategies, and build insight into the stressors or emotional needs that contribute to use. Using evidence‐based approaches, we collaborate on realistic, sustainable goals that support healthier choices, improved functioning, and a greater sense of control.

My approach to therapy is grounded in helping people make sense of their internal experiences while building practical, evidence‐based skills that support meaningful, lasting change. I create a structured, supportive space where clients can explore what feels overwhelming, identify the patterns shaping their thoughts and behaviors, and clarify what they need to feel more stable and grounded.

I blend insight‐oriented work with concrete interventions, so clients not only understand why they feel the way they do but also learn how to shift those experiences in real time. I focus on emotional regulation, resilience, communication, and healthier relational patterns, tailoring strategies to each person’s goals and daily functioning. Collaboration is central to my work—I believe therapy is most effective when we explore challenges together and build a plan that feels realistic, empowering, and aligned with what you want for your life.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and older adults, and I value the unique strengths and perspectives each person brings into the room. Whether we’re addressing stress, anxiety, dysregulation, life transitions, relationship concerns, or substance use patterns, my goal is to help you develop clarity, strengthen coping skills, and improve the relationship you have with yourself and others. Ultimately, I aim to support you in creating a life that feels more stable, connected, and fulfilling.

Clients can expect their first session with me to feel structured, calm, and collaborative. I don’t rush people into disclosure or expect them to have everything figured out. Instead, we start by talking through what brought them in, what feels overwhelming or confusing, and what they hope will be different. Many clients arrive unsure of where to begin, so I guide the conversation in a way that feels steady and manageable.

I ask thoughtful questions to understand their history, current stressors, emotional patterns, and the ways these challenges are affecting daily life. I’m paying attention to both the content and the underlying themes—what’s driving the distress, what’s getting in the way, and what strengths they’re already using. Together, we clarify immediate needs and begin outlining goals that feel realistic and meaningful.

Clients also get a sense of my style: grounded, direct, and supportive. I explain how I work and how we’ll balance insight with practical skills. My goal is for people to leave the first session feeling understood, less alone in what they’re carrying, and clearer about the path forward. Even if we’re just beginning, I want clients to walk out with a sense of stability, direction, and the reassurance that they don’t have to navigate their challenges on their own.
