You may be dealing with anxiety that makes everyday life feel harder, feeling caught in cycles of worry or panic, or struggling with panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere. You might be navigating a relationship that feels confusing or emotionally draining, or trying to understand your needs and set clearer boundaries. If you have a history of addiction, you may want to explore your relationship with substances and rebuild trust in yourself. Whatever brings you to therapy, we can start by understanding what you’re going through and what you’d like to change.

My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in real-life application. Together, we'll look at what's happening beneath the surface of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships while also building practical tools you can use outside of session. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused and Emotionally Focused Therapy work to help clients improve communication, manage anxiety, strengthen boundaries, and respond differently to challenges that keep showing up in their lives. Therapy with me is conversational and authentic, but also focused on meaningful change.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and start understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about the challenges you're facing, the patterns you've noticed in your relationships or daily life, and what you hope will be different moving forward. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of where we're headed together. We'll begin identifying goals and creating a plan that feels realistic, personalized, and aligned with what matters most to you.
