Great to meet you!

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the weight of life’s challenges, you’re not alone. You may be navigating relationship struggles, substance use, or major life transitions like motherhood, and it can feel exhausting trying to manage it all on your own. When stress builds or emotions feel hard to control, it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure of where to turn. Therapy can be a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment.

My approach to therapy

I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, substance use, maternal mental health concerns, and relationship issues. I also support individuals navigating bipolar disorder, stress, anger, and women’s issues. My approach includes CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, tailored to your needs.

What you can expect from me

Our work together will focus on helping you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns while building practical tools for lasting change. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel safe exploring what’s coming up and move toward a more balanced, grounded version of yourself.
