Currently welcoming new clients! Hi there, I'm so glad you're here. What brings you by? Anxiety? Work burnout? ADHD challenges? Parenting concerns? You might be functioning reasonably well, while also noticing something isn't "right." Life can begin to feel overwhelming when anxiety is constantly running in the background, past experiences bleed into the present, or the demands of work and family leave you feeling emotionally exhausted. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and develop practical tools for lasting change.
You might find yourself overthinking, struggling to relax, feeling disconnected, and carrying too much. My approach to counseling is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each individual. I utilize evidence-based practices, which include but are not limited to; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused strategies, and strengths-based approaches.
Together, we will identify goals that are meaningful to you and work at a pace that feels comfortable! Counseling is a deeply personal experience and you deserve a space that honors your uniqueness. Your existing strengths will help us build the foundation you need to manage life's challenges.

You might look successful on the outside—but inside, you feel overwhelmed, distracted, and unsure how to talk about what's really going on. Maybe ADHD makes it hard to focus. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night. Maybe your relationship is feeling strained and you don't know how to fix it. You don't have to navigate it alone.

Typically, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques tailored to your unique needs. In our first meeting, we will discuss what those needs are, and what brought you to therapy. This gives us a foundation to explore how your thoughts are impacting your emotions and behavior, so we can discover what is (or is not) working for you.
