Maybe you feel stuck - in a job that no longer fits, a relationship that feels strained, or circumstances that have put your life on hold. You want to move forward, but something keeps pulling you back. For more than 9 years, I have worked with younger and middle-aged adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, self-doubt and depression, alcohol abuse and the feeling of being unable to move through what they are carrying. Many of the people I work with are careful about opening up because they have felt judged in the past or worry therapy will feel the same. With me, it will not. My goal is to create a calm, realistic, and supportive space where you can feel accepted as you are while we work toward helping you feel less stuck and more able to move forward.

Sessions with me are calm, low pressure, and grounded in real life. I am laid back and realistic, and I meet you where you are without judgment. Some people come in motivated and ready to dig in. Others are still deciding whether they even want to be here. Both are welcome, and we will move at a pace that fits you. I draw from Motivational Interviewing to help you build on your own strengths, CBT to better understand patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, and EMDR when past experiences or trauma still feel present. My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you understand what is getting in the way while building tools that actually fit your life.

Your first session is low key. There is no pressure to have the right words, the perfect starting point, or a full explanation of everything you have been through. We will talk about what has been feeling stuck, what you would like to be different, and what kind of support feels useful right now. Mostly, it is a chance for you to see whether working together feels comfortable. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, not judged, and a little clearer about what the next step forward could look like.
