I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to relationships or family. In our initial sessions, we will take a deep look at the challenges you're facing and work together to create a plan for healing and moving forward. Many of my clients begin to notice a gradual relief of symptoms within the first month, with continued improvement over time.

We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and determine the best approaches to help you make progress.
