Great to meet you!

If you're waking up already overwhelmed, managing anxiety, low mood, or a pattern you've tried to break more than once, you don't have to keep white-knuckling it on your own.

I've worked in the mental health field since 2008, specializing in anxiety, depression, and mood concerns, along with dual diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health and substance use. My background in crisis intervention and domestic violence work means I'm not thrown by the hard parts of your story, and I've spent my career alongside clients from a wide range of cultural and life backgrounds.

Most people come to me wanting two things: relief from the daily weight, and a real understanding of why they do what they do. We'll work on both, building practical footing for right now while making sense of the patterns underneath.

What clients tell me shifts first is the loneliness, the sense that they've been carrying this by themselves. From there, self-trust grows. Over time you can expect to feel steadier in your own decisions, clearer about what you will and won't accept, and more like yourself again.

My approach to therapy

I take the client centered approach and use cognitive behavioral therapy to help you work through the issues that brought you to counseling and determine how making slight changes in behavior and/routine can make a world of difference.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be a meet and greet type approach where we can learn about each other and I will provide the private non judgmental environment for you to share about what has prompted you to seek out support and determine the best plans going forward to provide assistance to you.
