About me
My ideal client is someone feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma. They may struggle with self-worth, relationships, or emotional regulation and feel stuck despite trying to manage things on their own. They want clarity, peace, and healthier ways to cope. Deep down, they’re ready for change—they just need support and a safe space to begin the process.
They may also be navigating a life transition, grief, or the lingering effects of past experiences they haven't fully processed. While they may appear to be functioning outwardly, they often feel disconnected or misunderstood. What they want most is to feel like themselves again—calm, confident, and grounded. They want to understand what’s holding them back, build trust in themselves, and create lasting change in how they think, feel, and relate to others.
I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes using CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s needs—empowering you to make meaningful, lasting progress. I support growth at your pace, with tools that truly fit your goals and life.
Starting therapy can feel scary, but you don’t have to do this alone. I offer a safe, compassionate space where your story is heard and respected. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or support through change, I’m here to walk alongside you when you’re ready. You deserve care that feels right for you—support that’s steady, respectful, and centered on your unique journey.
