I work with individuals and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, suicidal thoughts, and big emotions that can feel hard to manage. I also support parents who are trying to show up for their kids while juggling their own stress. Whether you're a teen, adult, or caregiver, my goal is to offer a space that feels supportive, collaborative, and grounded in what actually works.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapies like DBT and CBT. That means we’ll focus on building practical tools, understanding what’s getting in the way, and creating real change over time, pairing insight with action.
I’m especially committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space for people who have been marginalized, including folx of color and those whose experiences may not always be understood in traditional mental health settings. If something here resonates with you, I hope you’ll reach out. I'd be honored to support you.
