Many people seek therapy after spending years caring for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic stress, and emotional exhaustion can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Therapy provides a warm, supportive, and collaborative space to explore your experiences, gain insight into emotional patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping. Using a person-centered approach combined with Psychodynamic therapy and DBT skills, sessions focus on self-awareness, emotional regulation, resilience, healing, and creating meaningful, lasting personal growth.
My approach is person-centered while integrating psychodynamic and DBT techniques. I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, PTSD, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges. Therapy with me offers a supportive, collaborative space to build insight, process emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying difficult emotions alone. You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment. Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, depression, or feeling emotionally stuck, therapy can help you move toward healing and growth.
