At some point in our lives, it is not uncommon to find ourselves struggling with emotional pain and daily life challenges. I believe that humans have a large capacity to be autonomous, resilient, and self-directed. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and safe environment, where clients can begin to understand and work through the complexities of their emotional and behavioral challenges. I tailor treatment to my client’s strengths and goals, assisting them in breaking maladaptive coping strategies and poor habits while acquiring effective coping skills, which promote new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own.

Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, struggling with relationship challenges, developmental trauma, substance use, men’s issues, or severe mental health concerns. My psychodynamic and client-centered approach helps uncover unconscious patterns, process emotions, and build deeper self-awareness. Therapy with me goes beyond symptom relief—it’s about gaining insight, emotional resilience, and healthier relationships. By exploring both present struggles and early life experiences, I help clients make sense of their emotions, break free from limiting patterns, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in helping people with depression, anxiety, and past trauma. There are many people that try to sell a cure all or a quick fix for mental health and happiness. As a therapist, it's my mission to avoid gimmicks and rely on proven and well established methods for change. True self-care is not simply salt baths and distractions, but building a life that you don't regularly need to escape from in the first place. I enjoy working with people who want to get closer to the truth of who they are, wish to learn how to set boundaries with ongoing worry, reflect on relationships, and who crave authentic and meaningful change.

You're capable, but you feel stuck in a relationship, career, or pattern that no longer fits. You may already understand why you feel this way; what you need is a clear path forward. You're tired of talking in circles and want a therapist who won't just sit with the problem, but help you move through it. We explore what happened and why it matters, then use that to build concrete next steps. I don't treat anxiety, depression, or trauma as an identity to manage indefinitely, they're part of the picture, not the whole story. You'll leave with direction, not just insight.

Most of the people I work with are capable, responsible, and very tired. They are professionals, parents, and caregivers who show up for everyone else while quietly carrying stress, burnout, poor sleep, or relationship strain. On the outside, things look fine. On the inside, they feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Therapy with me is a place where you do not have to perform or hold it all together. It is a supportive space to slow down, untangle what feels heavy, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with who you are beyond the roles you carry.

Relationships are as important to us as food and water. They can strengthen us, like a vitamin, or weaken us, like the flu. You are only as good in relationships as the relationships you have been in. As your therapist I can assist you in many ways. I can help you learn more about yourself, increase both self-compassion and compassion for others, and heal past trauma. Together, we can explore how to feel more connected to yourself, your values, and people you care about.
