Therapy with me is part understanding yourself, part learning new skills, and part finally talking about the things you’ve been carrying around in your head. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and attachment concerns, low self-esteem, codependency, life transitions, and patterns that can leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented while still being practical. I want therapy to be a place where you not only feel supported, but also learn why you think, feel, and respond the way you do—and what you can do differently. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, attachment-based work, and EMDR.

I especially enjoy working with clients who tend to overthink, neglect their own needs, struggle with boundaries or relationship anxiety, or notice that past experiences keep showing up in their present relationships. Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, confidence, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of who you are.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and practical. I want clients to feel supported and understood, while also gaining insight into the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping them stuck. I balance deeper emotional exploration with concrete tools for managing anxiety, regulating emotions, improving communication, strengthening boundaries, and building healthier relationships.

I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches, mindfulness, and EMDR, tailoring treatment to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. I especially enjoy helping clients work through anxiety, trauma, relationship and attachment concerns, low self-esteem, codependency, depression, and major life transitions.

Therapy with me is not just about talking through what happened, it is about understanding yourself more clearly, learning new ways to respond, and creating meaningful changes that feel sustainable in everyday life.

Clients can expect the first session to feel welcoming, conversational, and pressure-free. We’ll spend time getting to know what brings you to therapy, what has been feeling difficult, and what you would like to change or understand more clearly. You do not need to have everything figured out before you arrive.

Together, we’ll begin identifying patterns, strengths, and goals for therapy while creating a plan that feels realistic and personalized to you. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, more understood, and with a clearer sense of what we can work toward together.
