Life can feel overwhelming, like you're slowly sinking into an ocean of worries, leaving you desperate to catch your breath. Whether it’s the racing thoughts that keep you awake at night or the heaviness that makes getting out of bed feel impossible, I understand how hard it can be. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship where we can work together to bring you relief and help you regain your sense of balance and well-being.
I offer a variety of evidence-based tools to help you navigate challenges and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia.

I've helped a lot of people through tough times and trauma. I work a lot with depression and anxiety but also help couples and families. I also have both first and second-hand experience managing chronic insomnia and can bring that experience to our sessions.

The modality I use depends on the issue. For depression and anxiety, I prefer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. For trauma, I opt for EMDR and or Narrative Therapy. For couples, I follow the Gottman method and incorporate some EFT techniques. The amount of structure I use with any modality depends on the needs of the client.
