Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you’re battling anxiety, navigating depression, processing past trauma, or adjusting to a major life change. You may be feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure of your next steps. Whatever brought you here, chances are you’re looking for relief, understanding, and tools to feel more in control of your life.

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident in your daily life.

I know it takes courage to reach out for support, and I want you to feel safe, heard, and respected every step of the way. You don’t have to go through this alone. If you’re ready to take that first step or even just curious about what therapy might look like, I invite you to connect with me. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
