Life can feel overwhelming when you're dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, past experiences, stress, or simply trying to hold everything together. You may find yourself overthinking, struggling with boundaries, putting everyone else's needs before your own, or feeling emotionally exhausted.

As your therapist, I want you to know that you don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and talk openly about what you're experiencing. My style is compassionate, direct, and collaborative. I believe therapy should not only help you understand what you're going through, but also give you practical tools to make meaningful changes in your life.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and work toward greater confidence, healthier relationships, and a life that feels more manageable.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and individualized to meet your unique needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with DBT-informed skills and solution-focused techniques to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about what happened during the week. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, explore different ways of thinking and responding, and develop practical strategies you can use outside of our sessions.

I understand that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I adjust my approach based on your goals, experiences, strengths, and pace. You can expect me to be warm and supportive while also being direct, asking thoughtful questions, and encouraging you to put what we discuss into practice.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, how it has been affecting your life, what you have already tried, and what you would like to be different.

You don’t need to come to the first session knowing exactly what to say or having everything figured out. I’ll help guide the conversation, answer your questions, and work with you to identify the concerns that are most important to you.

Together, we’ll begin developing goals for therapy and discuss what our work may look like moving forward. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer understanding of the next steps we can take together.
