As your therapist, I imagine you may be feeling stuck—struggling with anxiety, depression, or challenges in your relationships. Maybe you're dealing with self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or unresolved trauma. You want to feel calmer, more confident, and connected, but you're not sure where to start. I’m here to help you navigate these feelings and work toward the life you want. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore, heal, and grow at your pace. You’re not alone, and I’m ready to support you. Let’s take this first step together.
I specialize in helping adults and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Using approaches like ACT, DBT, and Gottman Therapy, I tailor sessions to your unique needs. Together, we’ll build skills for emotional regulation, improve communication, and foster self-compassion, guiding you toward meaningful and lasting change.
I know asking for help can feel scary, but it shows how brave you are and that you want things to get better. No matter what’s going on, you don’t have to handle it by yourself. We can work together to help you feel stronger and happier. If this sounds good to you, check out our link in bio to book your first appointment or a free meet-and-greet!
