If anxiety, trauma, or overwhelming emotions are making life feel heavier than it should, you’re not alone. I help adults who feel stuck in their thoughts, disconnected from themselves, or weighed down by past experiences. Using structured, evidence‑based approaches like CBT and trauma‑informed therapy, we’ll build practical skills to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more like yourself again. My focus is helping you create steady, manageable change that makes daily life feel less overwhelming.
I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. I use CBT and trauma‑informed therapy to teach practical skills that reduce distress, improve emotional regulation, and create steady, meaningful change.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’ve been trying to hold everything together on your own. You deserve a space where your emotions make sense and support feels steady. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you move forward.

I know that no two people or couples are the same, so therapy shouldn't be either. I draw from different approaches and tailor them to fit your unique goals and experiences. Everyone processes the world differently, and my focus is on finding what truly works for you. My aim is to make therapy feel personal, collaborative, and meaningful, so you leave each session feeling supported.
