Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, mood swings, anger, addiction, unresolved trauma, or patterns of unhealthy relationships. You may find yourself stuck in cycles that no longer serve you—emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. I understand that asking for help can feel intimidating and deeply vulnerable, and I’m here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to begin that journey. If you’re ready to start breaking those patterns and building something more stable and fulfilling, I invite you to reach out today. We’ll take the next step together.

My approach to therapy

I have experience using evidence-based treatment modalities to support clients in creating meaningful change. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, Attachment Therapy (AT) to explore early relational patterns and how they impact current relationships, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to deepen emotional connection and healing—particularly in couples work. I tailor my approach to each client, integrating these tools in a way that feels supportive, collaborative, and effective.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my focus is on creating a safe, welcoming space where you can feel heard without pressure or judgment. We'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy, what's been feeling heavy or stuck, and what you're hoping to get out of our work together. I'll ask some questions to get to know you—your history, relationships, and what’s important to you—but we’ll move at your pace. This is also a chance for you to ask me questions and get a feel for how I work. The goal is for you to leave the session feeling more grounded, with a clearer sense of direction and support.
