I work with those experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma, and specialize in relationship transitions, anger management, self-esteem, and adjustment issues. I also specialize in mood disorders such as borderline personality disorder. My client-centered approach helps you build coping skills in a safe, nonjudgmental space to navigate difficult decisions and challenges.
I blend mindfulness and somatic work with evidence-based therapies (CBT, DBT, ACT) and encourage your active participation—you’re the expert on your life. My goal is to support you in finding strengths, self-acceptance, and meaningful change.
Together, we’ll uncover patterns that hold you back, clarify your values and goals, and develop tools to face challenges with confidence. My goal is to help you reconnect with your purpose, build resilience, and create a balanced, authentic, and fulfilling life.
