Great to meet you!

Maybe you have been carrying anxiety or relationship pain for so long that it just feels like the normal weight of your life now. I work with adults and older adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger that feels hard to control, and relationships that are in conflict or recovering from betrayal. I also work with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples who are figuring out their identity and how to reconnect with the people they care about. Many of the people I work with are looking to rebuild stability and confidence after a stretch of feeling overwhelmed.

My approach to therapy

Together we focus on helping you understand the emotional patterns that keep showing up, so you can respond differently instead of getting stuck in the same loop. We work on strengthening communication, whether that is with a partner, a family member, or yourself, and on building real tools for emotional regulation and self awareness. I go deep with clients working through anxiety and relationship conflict, including the kind that follows betrayal or broken trust, because that is where I see people make the most meaningful progress. This work tends to fit best for people who want a structured, collaborative process rather than just someone to vent to, and who are ready to look honestly at the patterns that are not serving them anymore.

What you can expect from me

Your first session with me is really about getting oriented together. We will talk through what has been happening, what has already been tried, and what you are hoping changes. From there we start building a plan toward emotional safety and steady progress, one step at a time. If any of this sounds like where you are right now, I would be glad to talk with you and see whether we are a good fit.
