Mental health is part of your physical health. You cannot have one without the other. No one is exempt from facing mental health struggles at one time or another in their life. It is not uncommon during times of mental health struggles, either it be an isolated incident of panic, short-term and long-term anxiety, tragedy, situational depression, or circumstances that were out of your control that caused you to have a "new normal." Therapy will alleviate these stressors through a process of personal insight, change, and opening your eyes to a new way of seeing your life and how you react to it!

Anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, depression, mood instability, relationship stress, and health anxiety can take a serious toll on both your emotional and physical well-being. Mental health is deeply connected to physical health — chronic stress can show up as sleep disruption, irritability, racing thoughts, low motivation, or persistent worry that something is “wrong.” Therapy can help you understand these symptoms, regain emotional stability, and build a new sense of balance and control.

I provide comprehensive psychological services for adults, children, couples, and families, including therapy and psychological evaluations. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reduce anxiety, challenge negative thought patterns, and improve mood regulation. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to explore how early experiences and unconscious patterns influence current relationships and behaviors. I treat depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, health-related anxiety. I also offer support for individuals coping with chronic illness and breast cancer-related stress, helping clients build resilience, emotional insight, and healthier coping strategies.

Your first session will be supportive, structured, and focused on understanding your symptoms, stressors, and goals for therapy. We will explore what brought you in - whether that’s panic attacks, mood swings, trauma symptoms, relationship strain, obsessive thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed by life transitions. I may provide psychoeducation to help normalize what you’re experiencing and clarify how treatment can help. You will leave with a clearer understanding of your challenges, initial treatment goals, and a path forward toward symptom relief and emotional stability.
