Seeking support is a brave first step, and I’m here to meet you with compassion and understanding. I work with clients from all walks of life—whether you’re analytical, emotionally aware, or just beginning therapy.
I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and relationship challenges. My approach is collaborative and supportive, drawing from DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. I focus on strengths, not shortcomings, and create a safe, non-judgmental space. Clients often share they look forward to sessions and leave with tools they can use right away.
With over 20 years of experience, I support clients facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. Using CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-focused care, I offer practical tools in a supportive space to help you manage challenges, build resilience, and create lasting change.
I believe healing begins with feeling truly understood. I offer a compassionate, supportive space to work through ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. I’ll help you build resilience and lasting change. You don’t have to face this alone.
