Life can be filled with twists and turns. If you're facing stress, anxiety, or depression after a difficult experience—or noticing patterns that hold you back from meaningful relationships and joy—you're not alone. With over 30 years of experience in psychotherapy, I specialize in trauma-informed care for adults 18 and older. My practice is rooted in compassion, clinical expertise, and a deep commitment to helping you heal from anxiety, depression, and the impact of trauma. Let’s work together to restore your sense of balance, build emotional resilience, and create a life that feels fulfilling.
I mix DBT (emotional balance), IFS (to meet your inner child), and CBT (to kick those pesky thoughts to the curb). It’s all tailored to you—with heart, humor, and real tools for change. Let’s make healing feel human.
Why work with me? Taking the first step to reach out for help takes courage, and I understand that it can feel vulnerable and even overwhelming. It’s natural to feel uncertain or afraid, but there is hope for healing. Together, we’ll work on finding practical solutions and strategies that can improve the quality of your life. I offer fully remote sessions.
