You may be feeling overwhelmed by the constant cycle of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or the lingering effects of trauma, and it can seem like nothing you’ve tried so far has brought lasting relief. It’s exhausting when the strategies that once helped no longer work, leaving you feeling stuck and uncertain about what to do next. But there is hope—healing is possible, and breaking free from these patterns is within reach. It would be my honor to partner with you on your journey to find a path that truly works for you, one that brings clarity, peace, and the ability to live without being consumed by anxiety or past wounds.
In therapy, I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood. Using a Humanistic approach, we’ll explore your unique experiences, and I’ll incorporate tools like CBT to challenge unhelpful thoughts, Mindfulness to manage stress, and EMDR to process trauma or phobias—helping you heal and make meaningful, lasting change.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment. Together, we can work through your challenges and create a plan that aligns with your goals. I’m here to provide the support, tools, and understanding you need to move forward with confidence and peace. I look forward to connecting with you.

In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to therapy and figure out the best way to move forward. Each session after that will be a step toward reaching your goals. I like to stay flexible, so we can adjust as needed based on what's happening in your life and what feels most important to focus on.
