Depression can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, unmotivated, or stuck in patterns that are difficult to break. In our work together, I'll help you explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences contributing to how you're feeling while developing practical tools to manage difficult emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

Attachment patterns can shape how we experience closeness, trust, communication, and relationships. You may notice fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, feeling overly dependent or emotionally distant, or struggling to feel secure in relationships. In therapy, we can explore how past experiences may have influenced these patterns and develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier ways of connecting with others.

Anxiety can make it difficult to quiet your mind, stay present, or feel confident in your decisions. You may find yourself overthinking, worrying about the future, feeling overwhelmed, or constantly trying to stay in control. In therapy, I can help you understand the patterns behind your anxiety and develop healthier ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, stress, or feeling stuck. We then work on developing more balanced perspectives, practical coping skills, and healthier responses to everyday challenges.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions rather than feeling controlled by them. Together, we work on building psychological flexibility, learning to stay present, and identifying the values that matter most to you. From there, we focus on taking meaningful steps toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling, even when challenges or uncomfortable emotions arise.

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients better understand and manage intense emotions, navigate stressful situations, and improve their relationships. Together, we can build practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and effective communication. My goal is to help you feel more in control of your responses, strengthen your relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and balance.
