Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lost in life's challenges? Perhaps you're battling anxiety that keeps you awake at night or depression that makes each day feel like a struggle. Maybe you're grappling with addiction, trying to break free from its grip, or navigating the complexities of ADHD. You might be a teen feeling misunderstood, a couple seeking to reconnect, or an adult facing a major life transition. Whatever your story, you're looking for more than just temporary relief you want lasting change, deeper self-understanding, and the tools to create a more fulfilling life. Are you ready to embark on your journey of healing?
I offer a personalized approach to therapy that blends evidence-based techniques with deep empathy and cultural sensitivity. My expertise spans a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, trauma, and life transitions. Creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.
I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. You might be wondering if anyone can truly understand what you're going through or if real change is even possible. I want you to know that you're not alone and that there is hope. Your struggles are valid, and your desire for a better life is achievable. I'm here to listen!
