Insurance Welcome! I’m dedicated to providing compassionate, trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you navigate life’s challenges. Using evidence-based methods, I support you in reducing stress, managing anxiety and depression, building resilience, and improving overall well-being. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel truly heard and understood. Whether you’re facing life transitions, chronic illness, or seeking emotional balance, I’m here to guide and support you. While I’m passionate about helping those facing aging or disability, I warmly welcome clients from all backgrounds.
Therapy from the convenience of your home
I provide compassionate care and support to individuals facing mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I help clients gain insight, reframe negative thoughts, develop coping strategies, and build resilience to navigate changes such as disability, aging, illness, and other transitions with strength and confidence.
I am deeply honored to dedicate my life’s work to supporting individuals navigating the challenges of aging, life transitions, and disability. If you’re facing these struggles, please reach out—I would love to explore how I can help.
