Maybe your emotions feel bigger than you can manage. Maybe you're wrestling with who you are, stuck in patterns you can't seem to break or you simply know you're capable of more and need a push to get there. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, and emotional regulation struggles. I believe everyone is doing the best they can AND they can do better. My job is to help you close that gap, with a strengths-based, judgment-free approach that meets you exactly where you are in life.
As a behavioral therapist, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and practical goal setting. My background in non-profit mental health taught me to break down stigma, build on your strengths, and tailor every plan to the person in front of me because no two therapy journeys look alike.
Starting therapy can feel like admitting something is wrong. I see it differently: reaching out means you're ready to build something better. You don't need a diagnosis, a crisis, or the right words just a willingness to show up. If you're ready for that push toward the life you want, reach out. I'd be glad to take the next step with you.
