Great to meet you!

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, trauma-related concerns, and difficult life transitions, helping you better understand what you are experiencing and develop practical tools to move forward. My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-focused, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you build healthier ways of managing emotions, relationships, and everyday challenges. Together, we will identify what is getting in the way, build on your strengths, and create a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for you.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe you know yourself best, and my role is to listen, help you understand what you are experiencing, and work with you to identify realistic steps toward feeling better. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other practical, evidence-based strategies to help with depression, anxiety, anger, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. I focus on building on your strengths while helping you develop healthier ways to manage emotions, cope with challenges, and work toward the goals that are important to you.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can talk openly about what brought you to therapy. We will explore your current concerns, what you would like to change, and what you hope to get from therapy. Together, we will identify your strengths, discuss goals, and begin developing a plan that feels realistic and specific to your needs. You do not have to have everything figured out before we begin—my role is to help you take that first step.
