Great to meet you!

You know exactly what you should be doing and somehow still can't bring yourself to do it. I work with teens and adults who are carrying anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or the weight of family conflict that feels too tangled to sort out alone. With more than fifteen years of experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, I bring a warm, personable presence to every session, the kind of space where you don't have to explain everything before you're understood.

My approach to therapy

Our work together starts with meeting you exactly where you are, not handing you a script to follow. We'll spend real time naming the thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck, especially around anxiety and the kind of grief or trauma that lingers long after the event itself is over. You'll walk away with language for what you're feeling and tools you can actually use between sessions, not just in them. I tend to work best with people who are ready to be gently challenged and are motivated to grow, even when growth is uncomfortable.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is simply a conversation about what brought you here, what you're hoping for, and any questions you have about how this all works. I want you to leave feeling oriented and genuinely heard, not like you just filled out another form. If any of this sounds like where you are right now, I would be glad to connect and start figuring it out together.
