You may be capable, driven, and dependable—yet internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted. Burnout, perfectionism, relationship strain, or past experiences may still shape how you respond to stress. You’re not looking for quick fixes or surface-level coping. You want clarity, emotional steadiness, confidence, and meaningful progress. You’re ready to understand yourself more deeply and take intentional steps toward a grounded, empowered life.
I provide a structured, integrative approach that addresses both thought patterns and nervous system regulation. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Doctor of Integrative Medicine, I use CBT, mindfulness, and strength-based strategies to help you shift core patterns, regulate emotions, strengthen resilience, and create lasting, meaningful change.
Reaching out for support takes strength. Therapy can be a space where you feel understood, challenged in meaningful ways, and supported as you grow. If you’re ready to move beyond coping and create lasting change, I invite you to take the next step. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a person-centered approach. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you 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 improve your feelings for the better.
