My ideal clients are individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic abuse, PTSD, borderline personality disorder (BPD), psychosis, life transitions, and related challenges who are seeking a safe, supportive space to better understand themselves and regain a sense of stability and control. Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to cope with past experiences or current stressors, often struggling to make sense of their emotions or patterns. Our team supports clients through compassionate, client-centered care that prioritizes trust, collaboration, and respect for each individual.
I help individuals navigate complex mental health challenges by providing a safe, structured, and supportive therapeutic space. My specialty is in trauma-informed care, including psychosis, with a focus on helping clients process difficult experiences, regulate overwhelming emotions, and build a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Reaching out can feel hard, especially if you’ve been carrying things alone. Feeling unsure or overwhelmed is completely valid, you don’t need to have it all figured out. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what you’re going through at your own pace. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step, I’d be honored to support you.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
