You may feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or trauma; unsure how to move forward yet longing for change. You want a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Whether you’re healing from an emotionally abusive relationship, managing the weight of complex trauma, or navigating the stress, self-doubt, and pressure of college life, you don’t have to do this alone. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to untangle what’s been holding you back and begin building a life of peace, confidence, and connection.
Together, we’ll connect the dots between your story and your struggles, exploring how your past shaped your emotions and relationships. You can rewrite old patterns and step into calm, confidence, and authenticity. Healing is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Healing is hard, sacred work, and you don’t have to face it alone. In our sessions, you’ll find compassion, safety, and space to release the weight you’ve been carrying. Together, we’ll focus on understanding your story, nurturing self-trust, and helping you take the first gentle steps toward peace and lasting change.

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 learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
