About me
I’m so glad you’re here! My passion is to guide children, adolescents, and adults through the challenges of depression, anxiety, and life transitions.
If you’re grappling with anxiety, depression, or feelings of low self-worth, you are not alone. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, but I'm here to support you. As a dedicated therapist, I aim to help you cultivate emotional balance and equip you with the skills to face life's challenges with confidence and resilience.
I’m committed to a collaborative and person-centered approach tailored to your needs. By integrating proven methods like Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I aim to help you build resilience, enhance emotional regulation, and foster healthier relationships.
If you’re an adult striving for a more balanced life or a parent seeking support for your child or adolescent, I am committed to helping you uncover and strengthen the resources you already possess. I believe in your capacity for meaningful change. Let’s begin the work toward bridging the gap between where you are now and where you aspire to be.
Your first step toward emotional well-being is an appointment away. Schedule your free consultation by clicking on email, call, or text.
