Are you tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break? Maybe your mind is always racing, your energy feels low, and no matter how hard you try, it’s tough to feel truly present -or at peace. You might be struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, or a complicated relationship with food and your body. You’ve likely tried different strategies, maybe even therapy or medications, but nothing has helped in a lasting, meaningful way. You’re not broken. You’re burdened. In our practice, we create a safe, judgment-free space for people who are ready to explore the deeper roots of their struggles
I help adults struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, or disordered eating find clarity and healing through personalized, trauma-informed care. My integrative approach combines therapy, medication, and lifestyle strategies to support lasting change - mind and body.
You’ve carried so much for so long - and you don’t have to do it alone anymore. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for things to feel different, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and build a path toward healing, clarity, and real change. Reach out when you're ready.

In your first session, we will explore why you are seeking help and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. With CBT, we will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. We will also determine whether medication is appropriate.
