If you’re navigating negative self-talk, low motivation, or the sense of feeling “stuck”, reaching out for guidance can be one of the most powerful steps toward change. My goal is to be a steady, grounding presence as you learn new ways to manage emotions, build confidence, and maneuver through life with more clarity and self-compassion.
I often use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness - tools that can support real, lasting change. I work with teens, adults and older adults who experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, addiction, co-occurring disorders and other mood disorders.
Growth isn’t linear. My focus is on meeting you exactly where you are and helping you grow in the direction that feels meaningful to you.
