I'm accepting new clients! Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or life stressors? You deserve support from someone who listens without judgment and helps you create real, lasting change. Whether you're dealing with PTSD, bipolar disorder, or justice system involvement, we'll work together to build a treatment plan that feels safe, collaborative, and aligned with your goals. I work with individuals ages 15 through senior adults, as well as couples, to navigate mental health challenges and improve day-to-day functioning.
I’m a certified Level 2 Team CBT Therapist trained through the Feeling Good Institute, offering a warm, empathetic, and structured space to help you feel understood and supported. I use CBT, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Positive Psychology and other approaches to guide our work. I always tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals.
If you're ready to feel better and build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful, I’m here to help. Reach out to schedule your first session or to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. You can message or call me on Psychology Today. Together, we’ll create a clear plan for healing and growth in a space where you feel heard and supported.
