Anxiety and depression can make life feel smaller than it should. You may look functional on the outside, but inside you’re exhausted from overthinking, self-criticism, emotional shutdown, or a brain that will not quiet down. Maybe you’ve done therapy before and understand yourself pretty well, but still feel stuck in the same painful patterns. I work well with people who are self-aware, emotionally complex, and tired of talking in circles
My style is warm, direct, and highly observant. People often tell me I help them put sharp, clear language to experiences that have felt confusing or hard to explain. Together, we slow things down and pay attention to thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and the patterns that keep anxiety and depression going.
You do not need to arrive polished or know exactly what is wrong. Part of the work is finding the words together. If you want therapy that feels focused, attentive, emotionally precise, and deeper than surface-level coping skills, reach out by email or phone and I'll get back to you in 24 hours. Feel free to check out my website to learn more about me!

Before private practice, I worked in a high-acuity residential treatment center for sex offenders and youths with severe trauma and behavioral issues. That environment taught me how to stay calm, grounded, and compassionate even in intense situations and I maintain that steadiness in my work today.

The first step in working with me is building a clear, shared understanding of your experience. My goal is to understand it so well that when I reflect it back, you feel genuinely understood. In my experience, real change becomes possible once we can be precise about what is happening instead of trying random solutions.

My approach is a blend of four, primary traditions I have undergone supervised training in: Person/Client Centered, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, IFS and EMDR. I use them to help people manage/modify their thoughts, regulate their nervous systems, heal from trauma, perform inner child work, and generate insight (i.e. figure out connections and the "why" behind how you work).
