I work with adults (18+) navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, burnout, relationship and communication concerns, grief, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and focused on helping you better understand yourself while developing practical skills for everyday life. Together, we'll strengthen communication, establish healthy boundaries, improve emotional regulation through evidence-based and somatic strategies, and build lasting coping skills that support meaningful, sustainable change.
I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed virtual therapy tailored to each client's unique goals. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, DBT-informed interventions, and somatic techniques to help clients manage symptoms, improve relationships, navigate life transitions, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult time or looking to better understand yourself, therapy can provide the tools, insight, and support to help you move forward. My goal is to provide a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
