I help people navigate the weight of depression and trauma, especially when it stems from family or relationship struggles. In our first few sessions, we'll dive deep into what's happening and build a roadmap together to help you feel like yourself again. Most of my clients start noticing a shift within the first month, followed by steady, long-term progress.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it's a great way to see how our thoughts actually shape how we feel. In our first session, we'll just chat about what's going on and figure out the best way to move forward together. From there, I'll help you spot those "autopilot" thoughts that bring you down and give you the tools to push back and start feeling more like yourself.
