Great to meet you!

I want you to feel comfortable and understood from the very first conversation we have. My work centers on helping people manage anxiety, lift the weight of depression, and find steady footing in recovery from addiction. I see care as something we build together, not something done to you, so your voice shapes every step of the plan. Whether you are just starting to notice something feels off or you have carried a struggle for years, you deserve a partner who listens closely and treats your goals as the compass. I bring warmth, encouragement, and a genuine belief that change is possible, and I am glad you are here.

My approach to therapy

I approach care as a partnership. Together we set goals that matter to you, and I check in often so the plan keeps fitting your life, whether we are working through anxiety, depression, or recovery. I bring steady encouragement and treat you as the expert on your own experience, inviting your input at every step.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I will ask about what brought you in, what you have already tried, and what matters most to you right now. There is no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, hopeful, and clear on what comes next.
