Great to meet you!

I work with adults and older adults who are dealing with grief related challenges, anxiety, panic, OCD, depression, trauma, and PTSD — often people who have been carrying these struggles for a long time and are ready to finally feel some relief. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck or like they've tried everything, and I genuinely enjoy helping them find an approach that actually works for their life.

My approach to therapy

I use evidence-based methods including CBT, ACT, Behavioral Activation, and Behavior Management Therapy, and I tailor the approach to each person rather than following a rigid script. My style is warm and solution focused — I'll give you real tools to use between sessions, not just a space to vent (though that matters too). I believe therapy should feel practical and grounded

What you can expect from me

I want to understand what's bringing you in, what's already been tried, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. By the end, you'll have a sense of how I work and whether it feels like a good fit.
