I believe therapy should help you do more than manage symptoms - it should help you understand what is driving them. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, PTSD, and patterns that keep showing up even when you are trying hard to move forward. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed by old experiences, or frustrated that coping skills alone have not been enough - especially with Bipolar issues. My goal is to create a supportive, active, and empowering space where we can identify the root causes of what you are carrying, understand how past experiences may be affecting your current life, and begin building practical tools for lasting change.

My approach is direct, collaborative, empowering, and solution-oriented. I believe therapy should be an active process where you feel supported but also encouraged to explore what's underneath the surface. I have over 2 years of experience using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other evidence-based approaches to help clients work through difficult experiences and develop healthier coping strategies. In session, we may identify unhelpful thought patterns, explore how past experiences influence present reactions, strengthen emotional regulation, and build confidence in your ability to respond differently. When appropriate, EMDR can help us work through distressing memories that continue to affect your well-being. My goal is to balance deeper insight with practical skill-building so therapy feels purposeful, productive, and connected to the changes you want to make.

In our first session, we will begin by getting clear on what brings you to therapy and what you hope will feel different moving forward. We will talk about your current concerns, your history, your strengths, and the patterns or symptoms that may be affecting your daily life, whether that includes anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, or feeling stuck. My style is supportive but active, which means I will listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help us begin shaping a clear direction for our work together. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and more confident that therapy can help you move forward with practical tools, deeper insight, and meaningful support.
