Great to meet you!

Finding the right support can feel overwhelming, and I want you to know you do not have to figure it out alone. I work with people managing anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma, and I bring warmth and genuine care to every conversation we have. My goal is to build a space where you feel heard before anything else happens. I see care as a partnership, so I invite you to share what matters most to you, and together we will shape a plan that fits your life. Whatever brought you here today, I am glad you took this step toward feeling better.

My approach to therapy

I meet you where you are and build trust before diving into deeper work. Together we set goals for managing anxiety, depression, or trauma, and I stay open to adjusting the plan as your needs change. You are an active partner in every step of your care.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward a healthier and more balanced life.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is about getting to know each other. We will talk through what brought you in, touch on your history with anxiety, depression, or trauma, and start shaping goals together. There is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable.
