Anxiety can feel like an overwhelming, constant loop of 'what-ifs' or a physical weight you carry every day. I specialize in helping you untangle these complex thought patterns and quiet the noise. We will work as a team to understand your triggers, build practical emotional regulation tools, and develop reliable coping skills so you can regain a sense of calm and steady confidence

Depression often leaves you feeling heavy, disconnected, or stuck in a space where even the smallest tasks feel monumental. My approach centers on meeting you exactly where you are with warmth and absolute honesty—without the pressure to have it all figured out. Using person-centered and psychodynamic therapies, we will work together to gently process underlying patterns, bring your natural, existing strengths back to the surface, and build a meaningful path forward.

Our earliest relationships shape how we navigate trust, communication, and security in adulthood. If you find yourself trapped in repetitive relationship conflicts, struggling with boundaries, or feeling disconnected from your partner, I am here to help. Using an attachment-based and trauma-informed lens, we will explore your relational history, heal past wounds, and establish a secure foundation for healthier, more fulfilling connections in your life and partnerships

elationships are deeply meaningful, but they can also become stuck in painful patterns of miscommunication and emotional distance. I specialize in helping partners navigate conflict, heal underlying relational wounds, and rebuild a genuine sense of connection. Moving at a pace that feels secure for both of you, we will work to untangle repetitive arguments, explore attachment dynamics, and cultivate a stronger, healthier foundation for the future

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape the automatic thought patterns and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck. By building a clear awareness of how your thoughts influence your emotions and actions, we will work as a team to develop practical, real-world coping strategies. This evidence-based approach empowers you to break free from negative cycles and manage day-to-day stress with greater clarity.

When emotions feel incredibly intense or overwhelming, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers powerful tools for finding balance. I integrate DBT techniques to help you build distress tolerance, manage intense emotional waves, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. Together, we will focus on the balance between accepting where you are right now and learning the practical, mindfulness-based skills needed to navigate life's challenges more smoothly.
