I believe people can change, no matter how stuck they feel. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship struggles, or substance use, my goal is to provide a place where you feel heard, challenged, and supported. I use practical, evidence-based approaches like CBT, REBT, and Motivational Interviewing to help you build lasting change. Therapy changed my own life, and I'm passionate about helping others find hope, healing, and a path forward.

When stress starts to build, it can affect more than just your day-to-day life. It can impact your mood, your energy, and your relationships. I work with adults and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and burnout. Many of my clients are used to juggling responsibilities, caring for others, and pushing through difficult seasons until they realize they're no longer feeling like themselves. You might feel constantly overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or like you can’t fully “turn off” your mind. At the same time, stress can begin to show up in your relationships through miscommunication, distance, or frustration, making it harder to feel connected and supported.

Feeling stuck can be so frustrating. Where do we go when our usual coping skills stop working?

Having been on both sides of this question, I deeply understand the struggle on both a personal and professional level. I believe that's where therapy can really help to remove some road-blocks. It's not a cure-all, but it can certainly help build momentum.

By using more imaginative approaches to therapy in addition to cognitive approaches, I believe that roadblocks can be moved and deeper, holistic healing is possible.

I look forward to hearing and helping you move forward in your story.
