Accepting In-Person Referrals: Many of the people I work with are adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or intense emotional experiences that feel hard to manage alone. Often they’re insightful and motivated, yet still feel stuck in patterns that affect their mood, relationships, or sense of control. They’re looking for more than validation and want a clear, skill-based approach that makes sense of what’s happening and leads to meaningful change. The goal is not just short-term relief, but emotional steadiness, healthier relationships, and practical strategies that hold up and can be practiced outside the therapy room.
I help adults working through anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex emotional patterns using CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based approaches. Treatment is structured and goal-oriented, with a focus on understanding what’s driving distress and building practical skills that support clarity, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.
I do this work because I value helping people understand themselves more clearly and move out of patterns that no longer serve them. If you’re considering reaching out, it likely means you’re ready for a more intentional, effective approach. Therapy can be a place to gain perspective, build skills, and begin making changes that feel grounded and sustainable.

I help adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, and intense emotional reactions. A typical plan involves understanding what's getting in the way, learning practical ways to respond differently, and practicing new skills between sessions. Many people notice clearer thinking, steadier moods, and more confidence handling everyday challenges.
