Beginning therapy is a courageous step toward healing, growth, and hope. I bring extensive clinical experience working with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, personality disorders, thought disorders, and psychotic disorders. My goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for throughout your journey.
In our work together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a strengths-based, person-centered perspective. Together, we’ll build on what’s working, explore challenges, and develop new skills to help you feel more empowered.
I offer a warm, supportive environment where you feel safe, seen, and deeply understood. With care, collaboration, and intention, we’ll explore your experiences and gently uncover patterns that may no longer serve you. Together, we’ll build emotional awareness, foster resilience, and develop tools that support lasting growth and healing.
