If everyday life has started to feel heavier than it should, you're not imagining it. Maybe you're emotionally drained, running on stress, or stuck in patterns that are hard to change. I work with adolescents and adults dealing with depression, grief, trauma, substance use, and family stress, often several at once. After 9 years in this work, I know how hard it is to reach out, and I want you to feel heard and understood from the first conversation.
I'm solution-oriented, empowering, and open-minded. We'll look at how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, figure out what's getting in the way, and build practical coping tools you can use in real life. Your goals come from your life, not a template. I draw from CBT, DBT, person-centered, and psychodynamic therapy, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
Session one is a conversation, not a test. We'll talk through what's been going on, what feels most important right now, and what kind of support you're hoping for. By the end, we'll have named the main challenges and sketched what progress would look like for you. Nervous about starting? That's normal. Go at whatever pace you need, and know that what you share will be taken seriously.
