There are times in life when the familiar stops making sense—when roles shift, identities blur, and unresolved pain rises to the surface. You may find yourself asking: Who am I now? How did I get here? What truly matters going forward? This work isn’t about quick fixes or just managing symptoms. It’s about honest, collaborative exploration—making space for what’s been buried, and supporting you in reclaiming clarity, choice, a more authentic way of living and reclaiming authorship of your story.
Blending existential therapy with evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-informed practices, these techniques help you develop skills in emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, & adaptive thinking, providing concrete support as you navigate complex emotions & situations.
Psychotherapy provides a space to explore challenges, clarify values, and foster resilience. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and rooted in evidence-based, person-centered care. Grounded in empathy and evidence-based care, support is here when you're ready to take the first step.
