Sometimes you can know you need a change but still feel unsure how to get there, especially when family responsibilities, relationship challenges, or stress have been building for a long time. You may find yourself reacting with anger in ways you wish you could change, struggling to feel understood by the people closest to you, or questioning parts of your identity as you navigate different expectations and experiences. I work with adults, adolescents, and seniors experiencing family issues, stress management, anger management, identity issues, and trauma. These concerns can also affect your relationships, contribute to anxiety or depression, or make it difficult to feel connected to yourself and others. With eight years of experience, I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be honest about what is happening without feeling judged or expected to have everything figured out. Together, we can make sense of what has been weighing on you, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and find a path forward that feels practical, meaningful, and true to who you are.

Our work will make room for both the person you are and the relationships, experiences, expectations, and challenges that have shaped you. We’ll explore how family issues, stress, anger, identity concerns, and trauma may be affecting your emotional wellbeing, communication, and relationships while also considering how these experiences connect to the way you see yourself and navigate everyday life. I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and practice healthier ways of responding, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you navigate difficult emotions while staying connected to your values, and Gestalt Therapy to increase awareness of your emotions, needs, and patterns in the present moment. Gottman Method interventions can help couples strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and rebuild connection, while Problem-Solving Therapy can help you break overwhelming challenges into manageable steps. Motivational Interviewing can also give you space to explore change at your own pace without pressure or judgment. Our sessions will be collaborative, direct, and grounded in the reality of your life, with room for humor when it feels right. My goal is to help you build a clearer understanding of yourself and develop practical tools that translate into meaningful changes in your everyday life.

You do not need to arrive at therapy with a perfect explanation of what is wrong or a clear plan for how to fix it. During our first few sessions, we will take time to understand what brought you here, what has been most difficult lately, and what you would like to see change in your life or relationships. Together, we will identify goals that feel realistic and meaningful and decide where it makes the most sense to begin. You can expect me to be honest, approachable, and engaged in our work, offering a space where you can speak openly, ask questions, and explore difficult experiences without feeling judged. Progress may look like responding to anger more intentionally, managing stress without feeling constantly overwhelmed, communicating more effectively with family members or a partner, developing a stronger sense of identity, or processing past experiences so they have less influence over your present. We will continue checking in on your goals and adjust our approach as your needs evolve. Whether you are coming to therapy individually or as a couple, my goal is to help you leave our sessions with greater understanding, practical strategies, and a clearer sense of how to move forward. When you are ready, you can schedule your first session with me through Headway.
