I help clients navigate relationship challenges, including communication difficulties, conflict, trust concerns, boundary-setting, attachment patterns, and recurring interpersonal difficulties. Therapy can help clients better understand how past experiences influence their relationships, communicate their needs more effectively, and develop healthier relational patterns. I work with individuals and couples using a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach.

I work with clients experiencing depression, including persistent sadness, low motivation, isolation, low self-esteem, emotional numbness, and difficulty finding enjoyment or meaning in daily life. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore underlying experiences and patterns while developing practical strategies for improving mood, motivation, self-worth, and day-to-day functioning. Treatment is individualized and may incorporate CBT, DBT, IFS, and strengths-based approaches.

I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, including excessive worry, overthinking, panic, difficulty managing emotions, and feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities. Therapy focuses on understanding the patterns contributing to anxiety while developing practical coping skills, emotional regulation strategies, and greater confidence in navigating challenging situations.

I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help clients manage intense emotions, cope with distress, improve relationships, and respond to difficult situations more effectively. DBT emphasizes practical, skills-based strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. I work collaboratively with clients to build skills that support greater confidence, stability, and self-understanding.

I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients develop a deeper understanding of the different thoughts, emotions, and internal experiences that influence how they respond to themselves and others. IFS offers a compassionate framework for exploring protective patterns and past experiences without judging or trying to eliminate parts of yourself. Together, we work toward greater self-compassion, emotional awareness, and a stronger connection with your own inner wisdom and strengths.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and unhelpful thought patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we identify patterns, challenge thoughts that no longer serve you, and develop practical skills you can apply in your everyday life.
