I work with clients struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety resulting from everyday challenges. Together, we will develop a treatment plan with effective coping strategies that will gradually improve your mental health. Many of my clients notice improvement within the first few sessions, finding relief as they release unexpressed emotions and gain deeper insight into their experiences.

The treatment approach I enjoy using the most is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In session, you'll learn to identify distorted thinking patterns and understand how they influence your emotions and behaviors. We will work together to challenge and reframe these negative thoughts, fostering a more positive and productive mindset.
