My ideal clients are teens and adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, personality disorders, sexuality, intimacy, relationship issues, and/or LGBTQIA+ concerns. Many come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by patterns that seem to repeat despite their best efforts to change them. Therapy is a place to better understand those patterns, learn practical ways of responding to them, and work toward a life that feels more manageable and authentic. I believe therapy works best when people feel accepted for who they are while still being able to have honest conversations about what's getting in the way.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in real life. Therapy isn't about being told what to do, nor is it simply a place to vent. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and CPT to help people better understand themselves, work through difficult experiences, and find realistic ways to move forward.
Starting therapy can be difficult, especially when you've been carrying something on your own for a long time. Whether you're looking for support, new perspectives, or practical tools, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and decide what comes next. Whatever brings you here, I'm happy to explore whether I can help.
