Great to meet you!

There are times when life becomes so overwhelming that even getting through a normal day feels exhausting. You may be struggling to get out of bed, turning to alcohol to escape your thoughts, grieving someone you love, or trying to adjust to a health condition that has changed the way you live. Perhaps painful experiences from your past are affecting your relationships, or you're constantly worrying about everyone else while quietly feeling like you're falling apart. I believe you deserve a place where you can be honest about what you're experiencing without fear of judgment, and my goal is to help you rediscover your strengths, find hope, and build a life that feels meaningful again.

My approach to therapy

I believe you can acknowledge the pain you've experienced without allowing it to define your future. Whether you're replaying past mistakes, expecting the worst in every situation, arguing with loved ones, or using alcohol to cope with difficult emotions, we'll work together to understand what's keeping those patterns going. I'll help you challenge thoughts that make you feel hopeless or unworthy, recognize strengths you may have forgotten, and take small, realistic steps toward healthier habits and stronger relationships. Rather than expecting you to change everything overnight, we'll focus on progress that fits your life, your values, and what matters most to you.

What you can expect from me

You don't have to know exactly what's wrong or have the perfect words to explain how you're feeling. We can start with what's been hardest lately, whether that's struggling to get through the workday, feeling disconnected from your family, drinking more than you intended, or trying to make sense of a painful loss or life changing diagnosis. I'll listen without judgment, ask questions to better understand your experiences, and give you the space to share at a pace that feels comfortable. Together, we'll identify what you'd like to improve and begin creating a realistic plan to help you feel more confident, supported, and in control of your life.
