Anxiety is the most common issue I stumble upon and help so many people in treating. For someone who has lived with anxiety since a child, I understand the difficulties faced when this comes up. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, grounding techniques, and body-based skills to help regulate the nervous system and challenge those pesky negative thinking patterns to begin taking control back over your life.

This is my bread and butter! I specialize in helping teens feel safe opening up, understanding their emotions, and navigating challenges such as stress, mood changes, peer relationships, self-confidence, and self-esteem. My goal is to empower teens with the tools and insight they need to feel more confident, grounded, and capable.

I specialize in treating depression with a compassionate, collaborative approach that honors each person’s unique experience. I help clients better understand their inner world, break cycles that keep them stuck, and gradually rebuild energy, confidence, and connection.

This is my main treatment modality as it's evidence-based and has helped improve so many people's lives using the skills and techniques from this approach. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns that contribute to distress and develop practical, effective strategies to create lasting change.

I use Narrative Therapy with certain client's who find benefit in writing as a form of finding therapeutic healing. From writing letters to your future self or creating your narrative story, you have the power to reshape the stories you tell yourself. By separating the person from the problem, this approach creates space for self-compassion, insight, and empowerment. Together, we identify strengths, values, and alternative narratives that support healing, growth, and meaningful change.

I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify strengths, resources, and solutions rather than focusing solely on problems. This approach emphasizes what is already working and builds on small, meaningful changes that can lead to lasting progress. Therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and focused on helping clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
