Life can be challenging, often at the most inopportune times. Anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship struggles, or significant stress; it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. But you don’t have to figure it out alone. Counseling offers a space to slow down, reflect, and work through what’s holding you back with someone who’s there to support and guide you. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface and build the tools you need to move forward with clarity and confidence.
My experience is that therapy works best when it feels like a real, honest relationship. There’s no talking down or lecturing; I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels right for them. Whether that means building insight, learning new coping tools, or challenging old habits that no longer serve them, we will figure it out together.
I show up in the therapy room as a human first, someone who understands how unpredictable life can be. With a strong foundation in professional training and years of clinical experience, I work at your pace to help you explore what’s holding you back, build self-awareness, and move forward with more clarity.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. We'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
