I work with people navigating mood disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder, as well as those struggling with substance use, eating disorders, or personality disorders. Many of my patients begin therapy looking to understand their behaviors and build awareness around what drives them, especially when it comes to substance use and eating patterns. Through our work, we’ll explore those patterns with curiosity and care, and then move toward lasting change.

Clients who tend to work best with me are curious, motivated, and committed to understanding themselves on a deeper level. Many people don’t realize how much their current thoughts, reactions, and relationship patterns are shaped by protective responses developed early in life. When you begin to recognize these patterns, it can be a powerful first step toward meaningful change. My approach is both supportive and practical. I help you build insight into these patterns while also developing tools to manage them in your day-to-day life. When appropriate, I offer medication management as part of treatment to help reduce symptoms.
