Great to meet you!

When anxiety, sadness, or heavy thoughts start taking up too much space, it can feel overwhelming and unclear where to start. I help people work through anxiety and depression with a simple, down to earth style that feels safe and relatable. With 30 years of experience, I see therapy as a partnership where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we make sense of what you are carrying together.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, practical, and collaborative, focused on what will truly help you in your daily life. We will slow things down, sort through what you are feeling, and find realistic ways to help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and steady. My style is approachable, with honest conversation, useful tools, and a pace that feels manageable for you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will talk about what brought you to therapy, what you are hoping for, and any questions or concerns you may have. My goal is for you to leave feeling more at ease, with a clearer sense of what is going on, and a next step that feels realistic and supportive. Together, we will build a plan that is tailored to your needs and moves at a pace that feels right.
