You may feel exhausted trying to keep everything together. Many of the clients I work with are navigating postpartum depression, infertility struggles, or the pressure of balancing work, relationships, and parenting. Some are new parents wondering how to give their baby the care they deserve while still managing their own needs. Others are women newly diagnosed with ADHD or adults struggling to focus at work or school. I also support teens, adults, couples, and families working through childhood trauma, social anxiety, or relationship communication challenges while trying to feel more steady in their lives.

I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to find the approach that fits you best. Using CBT, DBT, solution focused therapy and EMDR, we focus on practical tools that support daily life while exploring patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you build clarity, confidence, and skills you can use outside of session.

Reaching out for therapy can feel scary, especially when you’re already feeling overwhelmed. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can briefly talk about what you’re going through and see if working together feels like the right fit. My hope is that you leave the call feeling heard, hopeful, and clearer about your next steps.
