Great to meet you!

Great to meet you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, or memories that won’t let go, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are coping with the effects of trauma- from childhood, adulthood, or both- and are looking for relief, stability, and a stronger sense of well‐being. Together, we’ll focus on easing distressing symptoms, building coping tools, and helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and hopeful about your life.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in CBT, a supportive, skills-based approach that helps you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and reactions. In our work, we’ll develop practical strategies to help you feel calmer, more centered, and more confident navigating stress, big emotions, and life’s challenges.

What you can expect from me

Many people seek therapy for anxiety or overwhelm and later discover that past experiences are part of the picture. You don’t have to navigate this alone. We’ll start with what feels most urgent and also create space for deeper, lasting healing over time. If you’re ready for change, I invite you to schedule a time to connect.
