When people reach out for therapy, it’s rarely because life is simple. It’s because something matters deeply such as a relationship, a marriage, their peace of mind, their child, or their own sense of self and what they’ve been trying isn’t working anymore.

I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, and couples who feel stuck in painful patterns. My approach is active, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you not only understand what’s happening beneath the surface, but to develop concrete skills that create meaningful, lasting change.

Therapy with me is not passive. I ask thoughtful questions, provide direct feedback, and help you identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Reaching out is simply the first step. Our initial conversation is an opportunity to see if we’re the right fit. If you’re ready for thoughtful guidance, practical skills, and a therapist who will both support and challenge you, I would be honored to work with you.
