Do you feel overwhelmed, trapped in cycles of stress, anxiety, or unhealthy coping? Maybe you’ve tried to push through, but deep down, something still feels off. Whether you’re struggling with depression, addiction, emotional regulation, or past trauma, you don’t have to face it alone. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve helped individuals like you break free from limiting patterns, gain clarity, and build a sense of control over their emotions and lives. Therapy isn’t about simply coping—it’s about transforming. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles and develop tools that actually work for you.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to you. I integrate CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help you understand your emotions, break free from what’s holding you back, and create meaningful change.
If you’re ready to stop just getting by and start feeling more in control, more present, and more fulfilled, I'm here to support you. If you have any questions, I would be happy to speak to you on the phone or via email. If you and I are not the right fit, I am happy to help you find the right therapist. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.
