Great to meet you!

Maybe your mind never seems to slow down, you're carrying anxiety that won't let up, or depression makes even ordinary days feel heavy. If something difficult from your past is still affecting you, or you're a woman navigating pressures that feel hard to name out loud, I want you to know you don't have to carry any of it alone. I work with adults facing exactly these kinds of struggles, and my goal is to help you feel understood and build a life that feels more like your own again.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and meets you where you actually are. We'll work through the patterns behind your anxiety, depression, or ADHD, and when trauma is part of your story, we'll move through it at a pace that feels safe rather than rushing. I pay attention to how relationships and life experiences shape the way you see yourself, and together we'll build practical tools you can use in your everyday life, not just in session.

What you can expect from me

You don't need to arrive with the right words or a clear explanation of what's wrong. We'll start with what's been weighing on you lately, and I'll ask questions to understand your experience and what you're hoping changes. There's no pressure to share more than you're ready for. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer sense of where we can begin together.
