Great to meet you!

I have spent years in psychiatric care, including work at a busy hospital where I supported patients through some of their hardest days. Now I am building a practice where I can spend more time with each person. I support people managing anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma. I want you to feel comfortable bringing me the real stuff going on in your life, not just a list of symptoms. I bring encouragement and steady support to every session, and I like working alongside my clients as partners in their own care. Evening hours make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm and encouraging. I want you to feel like an active partner in your own care, not just someone receiving instructions. We will work together to figure out what helps you feel steady, whether that means managing anxiety, lifting depression, or working through past trauma. I meet you where you are.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will talk through what brought you in and what you hope to get out of care. I will ask about your history, your goals, and anything that feels most pressing right now. You can expect a caring, judgment free space where your voice guides the conversation and the plan we build together.
