Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, substance use, stress, or major life transitions, I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with adults 18+ who are ready to better understand themselves, build healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change in their lives. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely connected with your therapist. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental.
