Therapy is a place to talk through what’s been weighing on you and start to understand it a little better. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress, it can be hard to sort it out on your own.
In our work together, the focus is on helping you make sense of what you’re going through and finding ways to move forward that actually feel doable. I use approaches like EMDR and Gottman-informed therapy, but just as important is having a space where you can be open and feel understood.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. We can take it one step at a time and go from there.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.

My practice focuses on helping adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Online therapy allows you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space, making it easier to fit care into your life.
In sessions, the focus is on helping you understand what’s contributing to your current struggles and finding ways to move forward that feel realistic and manageable. You’ll have space to talk through what’s been weighing on you while also building tools you can use in your day-to-day life. I use approaches like EMDR, CBT, solution-focused therapy, and Gottman-informed therapy, depending on what fits your needs and goals.
The process is collaborative and moves at a pace that works for you. Some sessions may focus on processing deeper experiences, while others may focus on problem solving and skill building. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, more clear, and better equipped to handle what’s in front of you.
