Maybe you have been carrying more than you let other people see. Anxiety may leave you constantly thinking about what could go wrong, family or relationship stress may have you feeling emotionally drained, or experiences from your past may still be affecting how you feel today. You may be trying to stay strong for everyone around you while quietly wondering when you will have space to take care of yourself. I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating substance use and addiction, anxiety, family issues, stress management, and trauma. I also support clients experiencing relationship concerns, grief and loss, and women’s issues. You do not have to wait until things become unmanageable to ask for support. Therapy can give you space to understand what you are carrying, reconnect with your strengths, and begin making changes that help you feel more confident and in control of your life.

I believe you know your life better than anyone, so our work will start with understanding your experiences and what you want to be different. Rather than telling you what you should do, I will work alongside you to recognize patterns, build on your strengths, and develop practical ways to handle the challenges you are facing. If anxiety or stress has become overwhelming, we can work on ways to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. If family or relationship concerns have left you feeling stuck, we can explore communication, boundaries, and the patterns affecting those connections. We can also make space for trauma, grief, women’s issues, and substance use without judgment. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, using these approaches to help you better understand yourself, recognize your ability to create change, and find strategies that make sense for your life.

For our first few sessions, there is no pressure to arrive knowing exactly where to begin. We will spend time getting to know one another, talking about what brought you to therapy, and understanding what has been weighing on you lately. From there, we will decide together what feels most important to work on and create goals that reflect what you want for yourself. You can expect me to listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, celebrate the progress you make, and challenge you when it can help you grow. Progress may look like managing anxiety with greater confidence, responding to stress differently, setting healthier boundaries, improving important relationships, feeling less controlled by past experiences, or developing healthier ways to cope. My goal is for therapy to become a place where you feel supported while making changes you can carry into everyday life. When you are ready to begin, you can schedule your first session with me through Headway.
