You may find yourself caught in self-doubt, struggling in relationships, or overwhelmed by emotions that feel hard to name or control. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what's underneath the surface, and begin making choices that are more aligned with who you really are. I provide evidence-based therapy for individuals, couples, and adolescents experiencing a range of emotional and psychological challenges. My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and panic disorders. I offer a structured, yet compassionate approach to help clients gain insight, regulate emotions, and make meaningful changes.

My approach to therapy is integrative and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, existential therapy, and the neuroscience-based treatment of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This approach allows me to tailor therapy to each individual's unique needs and challenges.

If you're ready to take that first step toward change and healing, I'm here to support you! Reach out to schedule a 20-minute consultation where we can talk through any questions you have and see if we're a good fit for working together.
