I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help you shift patterns that keep you stuck, dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional balance, and motivational interviewing to support change in a way that feels true to you.
It's exhausting to feel like you're doing everything you can and still feel stuck. Whether you're managing anxiety, substance use, or the weight of multiple challenges at once, therapy can help you slow down, understand what's beneath the surface, and start building the life you want. Many of my patients are young adults and millennials who feel like they're carrying too much at once with nowhere safe to lay it down. I work with people navigating co-occurring disorders, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the emotional weight that often comes with transitions, loss, or feeling misunderstood.

You are looking for someone who won't treat you like a checklist of symptoms, someone who will thoughtfully listen and get to know you. We won't have 5 minute check in appointments. I seek to understand what’s impacting you medically, emotionally, environmentally, and in your day-to-day life. Sometimes there’s a clear answer, and sometimes it takes time to connect the dots, but we’ll figure it out together.
Medication can be helpful, but it’s just one tool. If you’ve ever wondered if medication can help, lets connect and explore your options.
