Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or navigating a significant life transition. You may feel stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Therapy offers a space to slow down, gain clarity, and develop the tools needed to move forward with greater confidence and purpose. I strive to create a warm environment where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable showing up as your authentic self. My goal is to help you recognize and build upon the strengths you already possess while working toward meaningful and lasting change.
My approach is strengths-based, goal-oriented, and solution-focused. I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical strategies that can be applied both in and outside of session.
Seeking support is a sign of courage, not weakness. You do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are, help you identify your strengths, and support you in creating the life you want, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.

I use a mix of therapies, two of which are CBT and Strength based. Everyone has their strengths so we will draw from those to work towards healing and restoration. I believe therapy should be a place for people to find their voice. You're in charge and I'm here to support you in becoming who you want to be.
