I work best with clients who feel stuck, burned out, anxious, depressed, or disconnected- from themselves, their relationships, or the life they want to be living. Many of the people I work with are navigating changes, complicated relationships, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. I also support couples and families who want to improve communication, boundaries, rebuild trust, and create healthier, more connected relationships.
My approach is collaborative, honest, and practical. I use evidence-based modalities such as DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, CBT, Solution-Focused, and systems-based work, always tailored to your goals and lived experience. Therapy with me is about gaining insight, building skills, and creating real, sustainable change.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stuck- especially if you're used to being the one who holds everything together- you don't have to do this alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and create real change. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we're a good fit.

I help with anxiety, burnout, life transitions, depression, and relationship challenges. Treatment often includes identifying unhelpful patterns, building practical coping skills, and strengthening emotional awareness and communication. Clients can expect greater clarity, reduced overwhelm, healthier relationships, and tools they can use in everyday life.
