My clients are adults and older adolescents (16+) who are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or impacted by trauma, chronic stress, or long-standing relational patterns. They may be seeking relief in the present, but also want deeper understanding and lasting change. Many are thoughtful and motivated, even if they feel unsure where to begin, and are looking for therapy that helps them develop steadiness, self-trust, and the skills to navigate life with greater confidence over time.
My approach to care integrates CBT & DBT with a psychodynamic and relational approach. Therapy supports emotional regulation and stabilization while also addressing deeper relational and self-protective patterns shaped by trauma and chronic stress.
Reaching out for therapy can feel hard, especially when you are already overwhelmed. You do not need to have everything figured out to begin. If you are looking for a supportive, steady space to address what you are facing, I invite you to reach out to see if working together might be a good fit.

I work with people navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, emotional struggles, and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with adults impacted by childhood sexual abuse and other forms of developmental trauma, who are often diagnosed with CPTSD. My role is to offer a space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to sort through what's weighing on you, with care, clarity, and support.
