Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are all normal responses to feeling that parts of your life are out of your control. Regaining peace of mind with anxiety, depression, or stress often feels like it means giving up something else: time with family or friends, hobbies, or last night's sleep. While dark humor, caffeine, and willpower may get you far, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I work with individuals looking to reclaim a sense of balance while coping with both internal struggles and external pressures, fostering resilience and self-compassion.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, stress management, and chronic pain. I also focus on helping healthcare professionals cope with the demands of their work. I use several approaches to therapy including cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic theories. My practice is rooted in empathy, patience, and humor.
Therapy can be both challenging and a space of relief. If you're interested in trying therapy for the first time (Welcome!) or you'd like to continue your therapy journey (Welcome back!), I invite you to call or email and we can discuss how we can work together to reach your goals.

For anxiety and depression I first focus on managing symptoms that interrupt your life, followed by changing behaviors that limit growth and confidence. For treatment of chronic pain, I focus on separating emotional suffering from physical pain and changing self-limiting thoughts.
