Life can change quickly — through health challenges, relationship shifts, work stress, or major life transitions. When everything feels different, it’s natural to question your direction, your identity, or what your future might look like. My role is to help you navigate these moments with clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of possibility. I take a holistic approach that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to help you adjust your perspective, tap into your strengths, and build a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and genuinely fulfilling.
Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in evidence‑based practices. Together, we’ll identify your goals, create a plan that feels achievable, and work at a pace that supports real, sustainable change. My therapeutic approach includes: - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - Motivational Interviewing - Mindfulness
I support adults facing: - chronic illness or chronic pain - depression and anxiety - relationship challenges - ADHD - life transitions and identity shifts To make therapy accessible, I offer evening and weekend appointments
