Are you anxious, overwhelmed, or plain exhausted from holding it all together? Maybe you're a professional who looks fine on the outside but can't shut off the worry inside. You could be in your 20s or 30s, navigating big changes and wondering why everything feels harder than it should. If any of that sounds familiar, I'd really like to help.
I use CBT and a strengths-based approach to help you understand what's driving your anxiety, perfectionism, or stress and build real tools to change it. Whether you're navigating life transitions, work burnout, or substance use, we'll set clear goals and make progress you can actually see. You already have what it takes to grow. I'm here to help you use it.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel scary, especially if you've tried it before and it didn't quite click. You might not even know what you'd say. That's okay. You don't need the right words or a perfect plan. Just reach out for a quick call and tell me what's going on. That's all it takes to get started.

My approach is grounded in CBT, one of the most results-driven treatments for anxiety and depression. In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you in and build a clear path forward. We'll identify thought patterns, set concrete goals, and build tools you can use in real life. Therapy with me is active and forward-focused. We'll go beyond talking about problems and work to solve them.
