Do you feel constantly overwhelmed, on edge, or like your mind won’t stop racing? You're not alone. Anxiety can be exhausting, but it doesn't have to control your life. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, health anxiety, and stress-related issues. Together, we’ll identify the root of your anxiety, learn effective coping tools, and build confidence to face life's challenges.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies tailored to your unique needs. Therapy is a space to feel safe, heard, and empowered—and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s take the first step together. Feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation. We can talk about your concerns and how my services can help you.

Types of Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you develop skills to manage your distressing thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
