I support individuals facing depression by providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore underlying causes and feelings. Using a blend of evidence-based approaches, I help clients develop practical strategies to improve mood, increase motivation, and address negative thinking. Together, we work on building resilience and discovering new ways to find meaning, joy, and balance in life.

I work with clients dealing with anxiety, whether it shows as persistent worry, panic attacks, or social anxiety. Using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, I help clients identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build skills to manage anxiety symptoms. My approach is collaborative, focusing on empowering you to regain calm, confidence, and control over your daily life.

I specialize in supporting clients who have experienced trauma and struggle with PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness. Using trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapies, I help clients process painful memories, develop coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. Together, we work toward healing and reclaiming a fuller, more balanced life.

I specialize in CBT because it offers practical, evidence-based tools to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. My experience includes guiding clients through structured exercises that address anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms. I tailor CBT strategies to each person's unique needs, empowering them to build skills that create lasting change and improve emotional well-being.

My expertise in person-centered therapy centers on creating a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel fully accepted and understood. This approach fosters self-exploration and growth at the client’s own pace. I deeply value the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing, encouraging clients to connect with their inner strengths and find their own solutions.

I am skilled in Motivational Interviewing, which helps clients resolve ambivalence and strengthen their commitment to change. This collaborative, goal-focused approach is especially effective for clients facing addiction, behavioral challenges, or readiness for life transitions. By exploring personal motivations and values, I support clients in building confidence and making meaningful, sustainable decisions.
