Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your own head, grieving a loss, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply feeling like something in your life needs to change. You may be someone who takes care of everyone else while putting yourself last, or someone who looks like you have it together on the outside but feels very differently inside. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand what you're feeling, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop healthier ways of coping and moving forward.
I specialize in grief and loss, anxiety, depression, substance use, and life transitions. My approach is warm, conversational, and tailored to you. I use CBT and DBT to help you understand emotions, recognize patterns, build healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change. Therapy can be serious without feeling serious all the time.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you're used to handling things on your own. You don't have to have the right words or know exactly where to begin. My goal is to meet yo where you are and create a space where you can show up as yourself. If you think we may be a good fit, id love to connect.
