Reaching out for support takes courage. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeing overwhelmed, you don't have to do it alone. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, collaborative space where you are heard, respected, and supported without judgement.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
