I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. Many people I work with describe patterns like high-functioning anxiety, constant mental load, anticipatory worry, and trouble relaxing; depression that looks like numbness, fatigue that rest does not fix, low motivation, or pulling away from others; ADHD-related challenges with focus, follow-through, organization, and mental overwhelm; trauma-related symptoms such as hypervigilance, emotional reactivity, shutdown, or feeling stuck in survival mode; or mood concerns that may include major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, persistent depressive disorder, or PMDD.
My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. My patients want care that is clear, practical, and compassionate, not rushed and not one-size-fits-all. My hope is that you feel empowered in your healing and see meaningful improvements in your daily life, including steadier mood, calmer thoughts, and better focus.
Mental healthcare can change lives. I am driven by the belief that everyone deserves compassionate, evidence-based care that helps them feel more grounded, hopeful, and in control of their wellbeing. If you are ready for care that takes you seriously and meets you where you are, I would be honored to support you.
