When you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress, it can start to feel like life is happening to you instead of with you. I help clients understand what’s fueling their symptoms and create a plan to move forward that fits your personality, your values, and your real life. Therapy with me is practical, collaborative, and focused on change. We’ll figure out what’s driving the anxiety, depression, or disconnection, and build tools you can use outside the session, not just insight that sounds good for 10 minutes.
My approach is collaborative and skills-based. You can expect a mix of insight, practical strategies, and support as we work on emotional regulation, coping skills, boundaries, communication, and unhelpful patterns that keep you stuck. I’m trained in CBT, DBT, and ACT, and I also use a relational, conversational style when that’s the best fit.
If you’re ready for meaningful change please reach out to schedule an appointment.

I work with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship or family stress. In our first few sessions, we'll get clear on what's happening (and what's keeping it stuck), identify your goals, and build a practical plan tailored to your life, so therapy isn't just "talking," it's movement.
