Great to meet you!

It can be exhausting to move through your day while carrying depression, anxiety, grief, or burnout and still trying to show up for work, family, and relationships. You might feel stuck in old patterns, weighed down by past experiences, or unsure how to make changes that actually last. You do not have to figure this out alone. In our work together, you’ll have a calm, nonjudgmental space to slow down, feel deeply heard, and sort through what’s happening in your life. We’ll focus on what matters most to you—whether that is easing daily symptoms, healing from past trauma, navigating a loss or life transition, or simply feeling more like yourself again. My goal is to help you build insight and practical tools so you can move through your days with more steadiness, clarity, and hope.

My approach to therapy

In sessions, you can expect a thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded experience where we move at a pace that feels safe and respectful of your story. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and motivational interviewing to help you notice unhelpful patterns, explore the parts of you that feel stuck or overwhelmed, and develop concrete coping skills you can use between sessions. Over more than 20 years in hospital programs, community settings, and private practice, I have supported adults living with chronic depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, and complex trauma. I bring that depth of experience to our work in a steady, compassionate way, tailoring treatment to your needs rather than using a one‐size‐fits‐all approach. Together, we will balance exploring the roots of your struggles with building tools you can use right now in your daily life.

What you can expect from me

My intention is to offer a warm, reliable, and honest partnership where your goals and values are always at the center of our work. I will listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge you when it could support your growth, while always honoring your boundaries and readiness for change. You can expect me to be consistent, transparent, and invested in your healing—whether we are working on reducing panic, managing cravings, setting healthier boundaries, or processing long‐held pain. I know that reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you have tried therapy before or are not sure where to start. If you are curious about working together, we can use our first session to talk through what you are hoping for, answer your questions, and see if it feels like a good fit. When you are ready, I am here to walk alongside you as you move toward more peace, connection, and purpose in your life.
