I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. I also have extensive experience supporting couples and families to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen relationships.
I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a safe, supportive partnership. My style is compassionate and down-to-earth, while also being direct when needed—I’ll both listen closely and challenge you to grow. I work from a strength-based, trauma-informed perspective, drawing on approaches like CBT, DBT, and exposure therapy to help you build practical skills and lasting change.
Together, we’ll explore not just what feels overwhelming, but also what’s working, so you can feel more balanced, resilient, and confident in your daily life. Whether you’re a teen navigating anxiety, a parent feeling stretched thin, or an adult facing life’s transitions, my goal is to help you feel understood, less alone, and empowered to create meaningful shifts.
Are there times you feel overwhelmed dealing with life’s daily struggles? Do you ever feel completely alone even if you are surrounded by others? Do you search for support only to find there just isn’t anyone there? Do you often feel resentful toward or angry with people?
You have taken the first and one of the most important steps to changing these negative feelings by exploring therapy today.
In our work together, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where you can be heard, understood, and even laugh once in a while. I bring a warm, affirming approach—rooted in empathy and sprinkled with humor—to help you feel comfortable as we tackle life’s challenges side by side. Think of it as teamwork for your mental health.
We’ll explore feelings of worry, anger, confusion, and sadness, peeling back the layers of pain, hurt, and shame that may have kept you from experiencing happiness and peace.
My goal is for you to be able to apply the insight and skills developed in therapy to your daily life and to experience a greater sense of happiness and purpose.
