There are many complexities of anxiety, from generalized worry to more specific forms like social anxiety. I help clients identify their triggers and develop personalized coping skills to manage anxious thoughts and feelings. My goal is to empower you to break free from the overwhelming cycle of anxiety and reclaim a sense of calm and confidence.

Depression can feel all-consuming. I collaborate with my clients to understand the roots of their depressive symptoms and create a path towards healing. We work on challenging negative thoughts associated with low moods, building healthy habits, and finding meaning and joy in life. I'm here to support you on this journey of rediscovering your spark.

The teenage years are full of transformation and uncertainty. I specialize in supporting teens as they navigate identity development, peer relationships, academic pressures, and the challenges of growing up in a complex world. I provide a non-judgmental space where teens can feel heard, understood, and equipped to face their unique hurdles with resilience.

My background in psychodynamic therapy allows me to delve into the deeper roots of a client's current challenges. We explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be contributing to their present struggles. This understanding builds self-awareness and provides an opportunity to break free from old habits that limit growth and well-being.

I utilize ACT principles to help clients embrace their emotions, even the challenging ones, instead of fighting or suppressing them. ACT focuses on mindfulness and identifying personal values as a guide toward committed action and a fulfilling life. This approach acknowledges that some pain is unavoidable, but it teaches clients to live alongside it, rather than being controlled by it.

My expertise in CBT allows me to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. Together, we work to replace these thoughts with more balanced and realistic perspectives. This process leads to improved mood, better coping skills, and positive behavior changes that can have lasting impact.
