You’re overwhelmed. You know you need support but you’re not really sure where to start or what that might look like. Well, let’s figure it out together. Therapy is not one size fits all. The goals, direction, and approach is unique to each individual patient.

You’re stuck in the same destructive cycles-whether it’s toxic relationships, addiction, or emotional numbness-and no matter what you do, nothing seems to change. Maybe you keep attracting narcissistic or borderline partners, or you’re battling sex or porn addiction in secret. You might be carrying the weight of sexual trauma, struggling with self-worth, or using alcohol to cope. You’ve tried to “just move on,” but the past keeps pulling you back. You need real solutions, not just another therapist nodding along. I specialize in helping people break free from self-sabotaging patterns tied to addiction, relationships, and trauma.

On the surface, your life looks fine—good even—but inside, there’s a gap you can’t seem to bridge between how you’re perceived and who you actually are. Maybe you’ve found yourself stuck in loops of overthinking, questioning everything you do, or feeling disconnected from the person you once were. You’re tired of waking up filled with anxiety, dread, or a vague sense that something’s just not right. Maybe you’ve tried quick fixes to push those feelings down, or even been to therapy before but didn’t make as much progress as you’d hoped. You’re searching for something deeper—a way to find clarity and make real change in your life.

Many struggle with anxiety and depression, and this is not uncommon. Whether it be nervousness, sadness, relational difficulties, or feeling like we aren't where we are "supposed to be" in life, there are many obstacles that cause us to feel "stuck." My job as a therapist is to help you get "unstuck" by aiding you in better understanding the underlying factors contributing to these difficulties, many of which are often rooted in thinking habits and relational patterns. My primary focus is on anxiety and depression, and how the combination of unhealthy thinking and unhealthy relational patterns cause us to feel anxious and depressed.
